Sweet Potato Pie I
This was my first-ever sweet potato pie and I agree with some other reviewers that there was something just not right. I followed the recipe exactly - I then looked at my old "Joy of Cooking" and it notes that for a fluffier, more custard-like texture you'll want to use THREE eggs for this pie rather than two. I will try three in the future. Two rookie mistakes - when I was boiling the sweet potatoes (I used two) I failed to turn them in the water so only one side was fully cooked - make sure to turn them! I will try baking the potatoes in the future as I have heard that brings out the flavor more...finally, I skimped and purchased one of the generic-brand roll-out pie crusts - will not do that again. Either spend the extra buck, if you can, and purchase the Pillsbury brand refrigerator crust (the best) or just make your own. The generic one just tastes...generic....Definitely plan to serve this with whipped cream...
