SWEET POTATO PIE

A very simple holiday sweet potato pie

This is an extremely simple and extremely good pie recipe. You can even cheat and use store-bought pie crusts, in which case the whole thing takes about 5 minutes to put together.

Ingredients

(Serves 3-8)

700 g sweet potatoes
200 g granulated sugar
180 g unsalted butter (or use corn-oil margarine)
2 eggs
5 ml vanilla
2.5 ml nutmeg
1 pie crust, unbaked

Procedure

Boil potatoes until tender (20-30 minutes). Drain and peel.
In a blender, put the potatoes, sugar and butter. Mix up a little, then add eggs, vanilla and nutmeg.
Blend ingredients together well, until mixture is very smooth.
Pour into unbaked pie shell and bake at 190C for 45-55 minutes until filling is set.

Notes

If you don't want to make your own pie shell, I find that the Pet Ritz factory pie shells work well.
