This is my first attempt at making homemade sweet potato pie, and in my opinion, this recipe is great. I did, however, alter it a bit. I baked my potatoes instead of boiling them. I didn't have any buttermilk, so I used evaporated milk instead. I used a half a stick of margarine instead of real butter (I don't like real butter), and instead of 1 c. white sugar, I used 1/2 c. white sugar and 1/2 c. brown sugar. Also, I added 1/2 t. cinnamon, 1/4 t. of each of the following : allspice, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg. It came out great, though it could have been a little bit sweeter, so next time I will up the white sugar 1/4 cup. I doubled the recipe, and got 3 pies out of it, though each one could have been just a little bit fuller (I ran out of batter). Even though they were a tiny bit short, they came out just fine. Thank you for this wonderful recipe! No more store bought pies for me! They do not compare to this....

This was the first time I have ever tasted or made sweet potato pie and it was tasty. I made these in 3/4 cup ramekins for individual servings and cut the recipe in half. The texture was very creamy and the outside edges were chewy. I added some spices to the pie. Instead of 1/2 cup sugar I only added 1/3 cup sugar to balance the sweetness of the graham cracker crust. I used a graham cracker crust, made from homemade graham crackers, and it was fabulous. Next time I will try it with a traditional pie crust. I will be making this recipe again and again.

This recipe is IT. I have made it several times as written: use fresh potatoes, it makes the difference. It is so good, the pie I made for a friend never made it to the rest of the family after their son discovered it one night. My only personal touches are pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger and Mexican vanilla.

I have never tasted sweet potato pie. I just happened upon this recipe & decided to try it. Boy, am I glad I did. There were some changes made by other reviewers but I thought it would be nice to see what the original recipe tasted like. It is so good that I couldn't wait to finish breakfast this morning. That pie was calling to me. So, what harm is it to have a little dessert after breakfast? Tonight, we're going to fix dinner for my 90 year old mom. She use to talk about sweet potato pie and how good it was. I can't wait for her to try this.

A co-worker gave me a HUGE sweet potato from her garden that I used to make this delicious pie. I added a tiny bit of nutmeg but I honestly don't think the pie needs any spice to be one of the best I've tasted. I did use 1/2 cup brown sugar as I love anything that has brown sugar in it!

My mother and I do not particularly care for pumpkin pie and we wanted to find and alternative for Thanksgiving. Our whole family likes sweet potatoes (we usually bake them and eat them like baked potatoes), so we thought we'd give this a try. This pie was an overwhelming success!!!! It is nice and creamy and quite delicious - we've found a new family tradition. Thank you!!! I just wanted to add that I made one of the these pies to take to a work potluck - and I am now being told that I am the "official" sweet potato pie maker for our potlucks! One of my co-workers liked it so much that she has had me make one for her family the last 2 Thanksgivings (and she comes from a true southern family - not too bad for a northern girl, I must say!!)

Fabulous recipe! Every other sweet potato pie I've eaten and/or baked tastes like a super sweet pumpkin pie. This recipe is easy and the pie tastes fab and (as it should) like it should...a sweet potato pie!

So tasty and very easy to make. I also made it with pumpkin and was equally as good. I did add some spices and alterered it a little once for my vegan sister. You couldn't even tell the difference.

I modified this a little. Used caned yams, 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice and half white sugar and half brown. Because it takes while to cook I also lined the crust with aluminum foil and removed it 10 minutes prior. Turned out wonderful!

I followed the recipe to a "T"...snuck a bite of the filling and couldn't wait to try it cooked! My husband said this is the best sweet potato pie he has ever had and I have to agree. I baked two of these pies for a dinner we are having at our church for boys from a boys home...I bet the boys will feel as if they are having some of their mom's cooking. They won't be home for the holidays but my prayer is that they will feel like home came to them. Thank you.
