The Texas Story:
My brother Paul informed me that since we are in Texas for Thanksgiving this year, it’s not a matter of if I make sweet potato pie, it’s a matter of how many sweet potato pies I make.
I have never made sweet potato pie or even had it before. So I headed to the Internet and started comparing recipes to decide what to do. I was sort of skeptical, but I guess, being in Texas, there was no way around it. I HAD to make the pie.
So I started. Then got really frustrated that I didn’t have a good mixer because there were still clumps in the mixture. Then got so fed up I just threw it all in the blender. Then I tasted it. And wow, it was a beautiful thing. The blender was the best thing that happened to this recipe.
The pie has a beautiful color and is very light. Perhaps next year I’ll throw on a pecan topping like I did for my pumpkin pie this year.
Sweet Potato Pie
2 cups sweet potatoes½ cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
½ cup condensed milk
2 eggs
¾ teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 unbaked piecrust
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Peel, then boil sweet potatoes for 40-50 minutes or until soft.
3. In a bowl, mix hot sweet potatoes, butter, sugar, and milk. Then add eggs while mixing to not let the eggs curdle. Add nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla.
4. Pour into a blender and puree.
5. Pour into unbaked piecrust.
6. Bake for 45-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. The pie will rise and then fall as it cools. (Eat it with whip cream and it’s even better.)
I looked some of your recipes from beginning and I love sweet potatos. I might want to make this for thanksgiving, this year. The problem is I do not have blender. I only have electric hand mixer. Does it work? Also how big is your pie? Was that 9 inch cycle?
I love this recipe. Thanks for sharing.

You put “condensed” milk in the recipe. Do you mean sweetened condensed or evaporated milk?
I was wondering the same. Seems like it would be really sweet.
