    Where the heck did you learn to cook a sweet potato pie with that recipe? No eggs or evaporated milk?

    3 eggs
    1 1/2 cup cooked mash sweet ‘tators
    2 cups evaporated milk
    1/2 cup butter
    3/4 cup sugar
    1/2 tsp vanilla
    1/2 tsp lemon
    1/2 tsp nutmeg
    add some flaked Bakers coconut if desired.

    Mix and pour into pie shell. Cook 10 minutes @ 425 then reduce to 350 for 35 minutes.

    At least that’s what you had on Christmas day (although I think I used the pie without the coconut…).

    That’s just the high points of the recipe, not the procedure,

    I got it right out of Southern Living.

    To quote Karen, B*te me.

    Well, mine came from the Franktown Methodist Church Cookbook. You didn’t seem to have any trouble b*ting the pie – although it may be the last one I bake you get to b*te.

    Bill’s recipe is almost a direct copy of a pumpkin pie filling recipe.

    Dessert

    The pumpkin pie recipe is probably a copy of the sweet ‘tator pie recipe. It’s also the only similarity between the two pies. There is no comparison – at least to a true Southerner.

    Since I’ve never had the sweet potato pie version, I can’t say which is better. I though, am a Yankee, much to my husband’s chagrin.

    I CAN state however, my original answer stands. Dessert.
