INGREDIENTS


1 (1 pound) sweet potato


1 cup butter, softened


1 cup white sugar


1/2 cup heavy cream


2 eggs


1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg


1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon


1 teaspoon vanilla extract


1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust





DIRECTIONS


Boil sweet potato whole in skin for 40 to 50 minutes, or until done. Run cold water over the sweet potato, and remove the skin.


Break apart sweet potato in a bowl. Add butter, and mix well with mixer. Stir in sugar, cream, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until mixture is smooth. Pour filling into an unbaked pie crust.


Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 55 to 60 minutes, or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Pie will puff up like a souffle, and then will sink down as it cools.Anyone out there with an authentic southern sweet potato pie recipe?

You can also add 1/4 tsp of cinnamon if you like. I usually leave it out. I think it tastes better without it.





To get a more buttery taste, of course, add more butter. I usually use around 2 1/2 sticks.
