I made a half recipe and it tasted great. I have had better though. I dont approve of all this sugar and I think I should have added another egg.

Being from GA I had never had a pumpkin pie! It was always Sweet Potato that my family made for the holidays. I had been wanting one for some time now. My husband's family is from KY - Pumpkin was it and I never got SP. So I decided it was time to try to make one like I had as a child. Store bought have way too much spice and just didn't do it for me. This pie was very close to what I remember. Recipe calls for 3 sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes come in all sizes and shapes. I wish that it had stated how many cups. I ended up with 4 cups of potatoes. I only used 2 cup of sugar and that was plenty, any more and I think it would have been too sweet, as some people have said in their review. I did not have nutmeg, so on one pie I sprinkled a little cinnamon. Both were good with and without it. Other than a little less sugar the only thing that I would change would be to add maybe 1 teaspoon of salt to the mixture, other than that it is a good recipe that I am keeping. Oh, and I started checking it at 45 min.s so I did not burn it. The pies were ready at 50 min.s but ovens cook differently. I start checking though at 45 min.s.

This was my first sweet potato pie and we all loved it! Very quick and easy and delicious. I followed other's advice and reduced the sugar. I used about 1 3/4 cup instead of 2 1/2. It was plenty sweet - can't imagine it sweeter. Also added cinnamon.

OK, please use this recipe. I always follow people suggestions. So I only used 3 eggs and 2 cups of sugar. It still is a little so sweet so next time I will use 1 1/2 cups of sugar. I also added cinnamon. GREAT! I WILL use this for Thanksgiving!

Not very sweet at all. Definitely not like my grandmother use to make. I will definitely look for another sweet potato pie recipe.

Maybe it was the natural sweetness in the sweet potatoes I used, but we found this recipe too sweet. I will try it next time with half the sugar.

I served this recipe for 7 deer hunters this season. They loved it! I did make two pies. One with the exact recipe, and one with half sugar, no vanilla and tablespoon of cinnomon. I prefered less sugar. The hunters ate up both pies before heading to bed to get up early again!

It was easy to make and my Bfriend from the south said it was the best he ever had. I tweaked it a little. I used 1 yam in place of a sweet potatoe and substitued 1/4 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp allspice for the nutmeg bc that is all I had available. I cut the vanilla to 1 tsp and halved the sugar. Then put a thin layer of chopped candied walnuts on top. Next time I think i will add even a little less sugar.

Had a bit of a menu malfunction the day before Thanksgiving. I had planned to use up an old can of pumpkin, for a pie, and it was ruined. Had a big 29 oz. can of new Bruces Yams for a casserole but most years I get lazy and never make the casserole or get the marshmallows and pecans bit together anyway, opting for a little butter and brown sugar on the naked yams. I decided to forgo my lackluster yams with dinner (all the other stuff would be plenty anyway) and use them for this pie. Never had it until I moved south, but I found I do like SP pie better than pumpkin anyway. (Sorry, lifelong comfort food friend but you’re history.) This made a very full deep dish pie with not enough left for another regular shallow pie. Cook time was fine with the deep pie so watch shallow ones from burning. Beware it is pretty sweet and I used only 1 cup white and ½ cup brown sugar. Hubby loved it that way. I think it’s the first SP pie I ever actually made and didn’t buy from the store. Texture is not as smooth as store bought but flavor is outstandingly homemade.

I combined this recipe with the Crumb Topping for Pies recipe from this site. I was afraid it would be too sweet but I forgot the sugar for the filling and it turned out perfect. I also added 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and used a shortbread crust. I topped the 2 pies with the crumb topping and stuck them in the oven for 30 minutes, then I topped them with marshmallows and cooked for another 10 minutes. The result was the best sweet potato pie that my sister-in-law and I had ever tasted!
