I use the same ingredients except I also add Borders Sweet Condense Milk. 375 degrees is too high. It will make the crust very dark. I use pie crust. Graham crust is for my cold pies like cheese cake, etc. Some may like Graham crust but bring the degree down to 3:50. The potatoe pie may not taste burnt because it is basically done but cooked enough so the egg in it is cooked enough and kind of solid. It's heated long enough where there will be no salmonella. For all viewers don't for to cover edges of pie with foil so the edges won't be darker than pie. When the middle is firm take off the foil until edges look light brown. Now it's ready.

Hi! It's been a while since I subscribed to a KZbin Video. WELP! about half an hour ago I "Googled" making BBQ ribs in an air fryer. Your website popped up! Right now the ribs recipe you presented on your website I am now following - Lol! I don't cook really (just warm up food that I order in). I MUST say that you are making these ribs Fun to cook! No FUSS . . . I Love This. I will find out shortly how good these ribs taste. OH! there goes the beeps on my air fryer . . . Time to flip over the baby ribs! Thank You and I look forward to trying out your other recipes!

[@sjk5763]

Gil I did her air fryer ribs and I will never make ribs any other way again. They're outstanding!! Just have to adjust time based on weight of the ribs I found.

[@StephanieEyikimi]

How did you bake 'em ma'am...did you use foil?

[@MyForkingLife]

I didn’t. Depending on the crust, I only use foil if I see the crust getting too dark. With my homemade crust, I don’t need it. With graham cracker, I still don’t need it.

[@LifeIsMessyImLearningAsIGrow]

Tomorrow is National cook a Sweet Potato day! To celebrate Im searching for new sweet Potato recipes. Thanks for sharing this recipe! I’ll be sharing a sweet potato recipe on my channel tomorrow to celebrate. I hope we can support and learn from each other. Happy National cook a Sweet Potato Day! #SweetPotatoDay

[@kaylawilliams3769]

Is it best too use salted or unsalted butter in making sweet potatoes pie I usually use land o lakes

[@MyForkingLife]

I use unsalted butter for all my baking. I add a 1/4 tsp of salt to the recipe though.

[@sexilexi277]

You look beautiful! This is a great recipe for the upcoming holidays.

[@MyForkingLife]

Thank you so much 😊

[@evettehatcher7157]

What about the strings in the potato?

[@MyForkingLife]

I didn’t have any strings in the pie.

[@roxylee8884]

WOW NO strings!!! Amazing..How did u not come up with strings???

[@MyForkingLife]

From what I learned, it’s all about the season the sweet potatoes came about. I’ve been lucky to never have stringy ones.

[@krazziejrboi]

Yummy i made 1 without brown sugar i think brown sugar is the missing ingredient

[@MyForkingLife]

Yes! Brown sugar makes a world of difference.

[@destanymartinez2103]

I’m trying to make it with can yams like my mom used to make but even after I do all the steps it comes out milky rather than smooth🥺 what am I doing wrong? Should I wait until they’re cooled down after cooking them????

[@MyForkingLife]

I’ve never used the canned yams but you’ll for sure want to wait until the pie cool before slicing them.

[@margueritesimmons3025]

Do you add sugar?

[@MyForkingLife]

Yep, 3/4 cup of light brown sugar.

[@hollish196]

This looks great! And if you keep eating big pieces of pie, you will end up all chubby like Rachael Ray!

[@jerryturner217]

You will have too many strings in that pie

[@MyForkingLife]

Thanks for the feedback but I haven’t had a stringy sweet potato pie in years. Running the sweet potatoes through a food processor won’t necessarily get rid of all the strings either, I’ve had stringy sweet potatoes that have been run through food processors. Those things are stubborn. The strings are generally because of the sweet potatoes. Something to do with the season and when they are produced. Some have a lot, some not so much. I’ve been lucky to pick ones that are not stringy or have very little.

[@lavelleriley42]

Yes her will have strings and I don't like a stringy pie..
