Notes
- Bake sweet potatoes at 425⁰F for 40 to 50 minutes or until a fork or knife is easily inserted into the middle. Allow cooling for 15 minutes before peeling.
- Well-drained unflavored canned yams or sweet potatoes can be used. Warm the canned yams in the microwave before adding the butter.
- Boiled and canned sweet potatoes will result in a wetter filling and will require a longer baking time. You may need to wrap the crust edges in foil to prevent over-browning of the crust.
- Bourbon Sweet Potato Pie - Add 1/4 cup of bourbon for a bourbon sweet potato pie, you may need to bake the pie for a few extra minutes.
- Top with pecans and mini marshmallows during the last 15 minutes of baking for an impressive garnish. Serve this version in very small slices, it’s very rich!
