The BEST Sweet Potato Pie Recipe

[@biobug4]

My grandpa used to make a bunch of these for Thanksgiving and always hid one for me to have by myself. He passed away unexpectedly last year, before he ever wrote down the recipe. This year, I plan to start creating my own recipe in his beloved memory. I think this will be excellent recipe to start a new family tradition 😊

Aww. That would’ve been so special if you had his recipe 💙. Well you can dedicate your recipe to him🙂

[@danaandrews-wylie3613]

I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you have a great Thanksgiving. May his spirit guide you through the recipe.

[@stars-are-us]

I use a hand emulsion blender to cream my sweet potatoes, add butter, 1 can sweeten condensed milk, as less extra sugar as possible, lemon zest, pumpkin pie spice, and those spices. Dark brown sugar instead of granulated. Then eat it breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

[@carlamoore2710]

I'm Southern, I was born in Louisiana it's great to see you tackle the sweet potato pie. It's my favorite but I can't make it like my mom. I can't wait to try yours out.

[@Craxin01]

If you want to avoid overmixing the custard at the end, I'd mix the sugar and spices together before adding to the sweet potato. You won't have to work out clumps of spices, so less mixing.

[@tylerhughes5420]

Add everything back to the already dirty food processor

[@LaurieBug23]

Just showed my sister the strawberry lemonade cake video after watching this pie. She said she wishes she could bake alongside of you, because she feels you would help her better her skills in a gentle, nice way!! You're just the kindest soul! Thank you for sharing your baking skills and smiling face with us!

[@MsUnik44]

Chef's kiss to the chef! Honestly, I've made Sweet Potato Pie for many years -- patiently removing the strings. Whether using a hand mixer or stand mixer...and rinsing the beaters several times to remove the strings. But using the food processor is genius, a thousand thanks for the tip. And yes, my pies turned out light and fluffy and of course, delicious! Thanks sharing. Love the channel.

You’re absolutely correct. John is the best. I love hanging out with him in the kitchen. He’s a wonderful teacher and cooking inspiration!!

[@carolinagutierrez-mh2ne]

Tried this and OMG ADDICTED my family told me I’m amazing at baking thanks to you ❤ THANK YOU!!!!!

I love that you showed your sugarlanche. It's important for us diy home cookers to see that faux pas happen to perfectionists too. Thank you for being humble and showing those little kitchen accidents.🥰

You are the sweetest thing. The holidays haven't been the same since I lost my dad but watching this video brought tears to my eyes, I really miss being happy especially during the holidays. You are really amazing keep being you

[@AdrienneCM10]

I knew this was going to be a great recipe when he started with roasted sweet potatoes! I never boil mine for yummy pies 💜

[@missnurseeri]

We always brush our store bought crusts with butter and blind bake them for about five minutes. Tastes so much better that way. Peel the potatoes by hand, put all of the ingredients in a blender, and then put it into the crusts. Ta Da! 😂❤

[@robinrodriguezlopez]

I used purple sweet potatoes, brown sugar and cut back on the ginger since I’m not a big fan of it and it came out delicious

[@marilyn2159]

I love how organized your spice drawer is! 😎

[@brendamaxson4961]

I absolutely love sweet potato pie. Growing up with Southern parents and grandmothers i had it from time to time. Yummm

[@deebee4850]

I made this yesterday. First time I’ve ever tasted a sweet potato pie, let alone made one. It was absolutely delicious, John. Thank you!

[@matt-g-recovers]

This happens a lot with me too the same with scones I had never had a stone before I made my own

This recipe is calling my name...awesome for the holidays indeed.

[@harryhagman6063]

AND HE IS A REAL SWEETIE 😘👀

[@LuckyLiger-zg7hx]

Did exactly as you instructed. Both pies were amazingly delicious. The potatoes were so silky smooth after the food processing. Thank you for that simple and easy direction. 😀👍🏾

[@andrejohnson121]

I grew up With my grandmother and my mom’s sweet potato’s pie . You can boil the potato, does not change the how the pie is made. It’s what you put into the potatoes to make it a great tasting pie

[@aviviapatrick707]

I think boiling does taste different from roasting- check out the water from boiling- it’s usually slightly orange; that’s some flavor you’re pouring out. To me, the roasted potato has a deeper flavor, it gets a little carmelized. An older lady taught me to roast the sweet potatoes and I haven’t boiled them since.

[@avalon7367]

@@andrejohnson121 That's Not Accurate about Boiling the Potatoes. Yes, the Other Ingredients DO Add to the Final Flavor, BUT Boiling ANYTHING Changes the Flavor Significantly. Wen U Boil Any Vegetable, Or Potato - U Boil Out a Ton of Flavor & Especially Sweet Potatoes, Bcuz the Natural Sweetness (sugar) is Largely Boiled Out as Well. Mor Sugar is Ultimately Needed to Replace the Natural Sugar U Boiled Out.

[@avalon7367]

@@aviviapatrick707 U R Dead On the Money About A Lot Of the Natural Sugar Being Boiled Out & Left N The Water - Which Detracts From the Pie. That Sugar "Syrup" is Then Just Poured Down the Drain When It Shud'v Ben Put to Better Use In Sweetening the Pie U'r Baking. Natural Sugar Vs Refined - Natural Is Always Better.

John Kanell joins Chris Morocco of Bon Appetit as by far the best cooking teachers we have. Both articulate the process very well, explain the whys and hows of measuring, seasoning, mixing and technique. Bravo!!

[@darlenewilson98]

His recipes always work out for me. Groceries are much too expensive to make food you have to throw out. I cook a lot and I highly recommend him.

[@leanonlene222]

What a beautiful pie! 😍 I love to add brown butter, a lil' fresh lemon juice, light Muscovado brown sugar, fresh nutmeg, Ceylon cinnamon, sometimes a lil' fresh orange juice, and condensed milk for contrasting flavors. I am not a fan of blind baking or at least for too long. I would half the time or at least a 1/4 of a time with aluminum around the edges of the crust. I will definitely try your butter pie crust!🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@cookingwithclari4550]

I love your spice draw…. awesome!!!

[@adriennecoleman5249]

Love this much more than pumpkin. My grandma always added both granulated f brown sugar, as do I.

[@EEN63]

Sweet potato pie reminds me of my grandmom. Every Thanksgiving and Christmas we could count on her making her sweet potato pie! Wonderfully delicious memories! 💗🥰💗 I have to say, in your fabulous kitchen you have wonderful storage for your spices but I’m itching to alphabetize your spices for you! Anyone and everyone who knows the alphabet will quickly and easily be able to find any spice when assisting you in the kitchen! Having helped numerous friends and family move house over the years, that is the one organizational tip I did for them and still continue to get thanks years later for making their cooking time easier and more efficient! Also it’s good reinforcement for little helpers in the kitchen just learning their alphabet. Plus, you’ll help out any of your more fastidious viewers who appreciate the neat and orderly! 😉😊🥰

[@atlaustell]

Thank you for making a sweet potato pie. Most of us in the South (as well as most us black people) only eat sweet potato pies, not pumpkin pie.

[@AdrienneCM10]

Looks delicious! Very similar to my recipe but I use allspice instead of ginger. Plus I add molasses and melted butter for a rich and decadent pie. It's great with a peacan pie like topping baked on top. 💜

If you get air bubbles in filling what you can do is tap pie on counter just like you would with cake batter and it gets rid of bubbles and prevents cracking as well

Ooo I can’t wait to make my pies for Thanksgiving! I have core memories of sore fingers from peeling and chopping sweet potatoes as a child. Baking them is a game changer 😂🎉 We add a dash of OJ. It adds the slightest punch - similar to the salt! Thanks for sharing ❤

Personally, I really don't like pie crust I always used to just eat the pumpkin filling and leave the crust behind😂. So now that I'm on my own, I've decided I will make my sweet potato/ pumpkin pies with a Cracker crust like cheesecake. Here in Germany they don't have Graham cracker, so I just use Leibniz cookies and add some spices to it. I also find the cracker crusts to be significantly easier to make

[@Oppenheimer1968]

Here in North Carolina- we Native Americans often times make Sweet Potato bread (slang: "tater bred")..basically a thicker sweet potato pie without the crust. Baked and cut into squares-enjoy. Delicious chilled.
