Notes
- Use an electric mixer to thoroughly mix the pie ingredients.
- Cook sweet potato pie in advance, cool, and cover with plastic wrap until ready to serve. If chilled, leave at room temperature at least 60 minutes before serving.
- To get the strings out of sweet potato pie, you can use a potato ricer or mix longer with a hand mixer (the beaters will collect some of the strings). The filling can also be blended if desired.
- If the crust begins to brown too much, use a pie shield or cover with foil.
- Sweet potato pie can be kept at room temperature or covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Sweet potato pie can be frozen for up to 6 weeks. Thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature before serving.
