Louisiana Yam Pie
It’s not Thanksgiving without Pie. And at the market I found sweet potatoes (yams) perfect for my pie.
- That sweet, orange-colored root vegetable that you love so dearly is actually a sweet potato. Yes, all so-called “yams” are in fact sweet potatoes. Most people think that long, red-skinned sweet potatoes are yams, but they really are just one of many varieties of sweet potatoes.
- 2 C yams cooked and mashed
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 C milk
- 1 C sugar
- 1/2 C melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 9 in unbaked Pie shell
Mix all ingredients together and pour into pie shell. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. Top with whipped cream.
