This was the first sweet potato pie I have made and while the recipe was easy and the pie baked up just fine, I thought the filling was too sweet. I made 4 of these pies for my daughter to serve in her class as part of her Kentucky State presentaton since it's a favorite Southern food. Though I thought it was too sweet for my taste, most of the kids loved it & several asked for seconds, which I didn't expect. The only change I made was to peel the sweet potatoes and cut them in chunks to boil as I was short on time & didn't have an hour to boil them whole. Overall, a good recipe, but I will reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup in the future.

Good recipe but way too sweet. I recommend cutting sugar to a heaping 1/2 C

We loved this recipe! As per others, I did add a tablespoon of flour, as the only milk I had was 2%, and the mixture seemed to be a bit thin. I also added some pumpkin pie spice and extra ground ginger and ground cloves. I always freshly grate nutmeg, as this adds the best flavor. Also, a pinch of salt elevates most sweet dishes. Thanks for a wonderful and very easy recipe. I did use a rolled up pie crust, as I felt lazy that day, but it was even terrific with that.

with a little this'n'that, YUM! half the white sugar + 1/2c brown sugar + 1/2t cinnamon + 1/2t ground ginger + 1/2t vanilla extract + 1T lemon juice + 1T flour + 1t cream of tartar + Total sweet potato = 2 cups may be too sweet for some but i will certainly repeat this recipe!

Amazing pie! I substituted one cup coconut sugar for the white sugar, used goat's milk and goat's butter and a gluten free pie crust from Whole Foods and it was delicious! So easy to make.
