That is because no one comes close to duplicating it, aside from my mother and myself. Hopefully this will help a few of them out, as well as you. Who else eat's sweet potato pie, or is this just a southern thing? One thing that I can attest to, if you try this, you will be asking yourself "pumpkin what?" Let me know in the comments, what are some of your favorite dishes your grandmother shared with you.

Tips On Making the Perfect Sweet Potato Pie:
1. Start with medium large potatoes and try to get ones that are rounder in shape.
2. As a general rule, 1 potato equals 1 pie, so if you need 4 pies, you need at least 4 medium-large potatoes.
3. Wash your potatoes well before boiling them, and add enough water to cover your potatoes.
4. Boil them as long as it takes for a fork to penetrate the largest potato closest to the top of the pot.
5. After allowing the potatoes to cool to the point that you can handle them, remove all the skin and any eyes that may remain.
6. You will need at least 1/2 stick of butter for each pie. For example, you need 2 sticks of butter for 4 pies, at a min.
7. Mash you potatoes and butter together and about 1 ounce of whole milk (Evaporated milk works if you don't have whole milk).
8. For the eggs, you need 1 egg per pie.
9. You have the option of adding your whisked eggs to your puree mixture at the beginning, or waiting until you've reached your desired sweetness and flavor of your puree "custard."
10. This is where you earn your "cook" label. You honestly will need to taste and go until you're done. My guess is 3.5 cups of sugar, 2.5 tsp of nutmeg and 4 teaspoons of vanilla.
11. Use Pet-Ritz deep dish, pie crusts...they are the best ones.
12. Fill each pie crust up 1/4 of an inch to the top. Make sure not to get any filling on the exposed pie shells. As a safety measure, you can place the pies on a baking sheet before putting them in the oven.
13. Bake on 355 for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
14.Make sure you take them out when they brown (crust & filling).
