A few weeks back we shared a recipe from a contributor for a Savory Sweet Potato Pie. When we realized how many people wanted the perfect recipe for a traditional, Southern sweet potato pie, we enlisted the help of the amazing Southern Girl Desserts​. Try this recipe at home and remember, you don't need to add parmesan cheese to this one.
- Place yams in a large saucepan and add enough water to completely cover. Bring to a boil and cook for about an hour, or until yams are soft. Remove from water and allow to cool before peeling.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add peeled yams to a large bowl and mash. Add in butter, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and lemon juice. Stir together until thoroughly combined.
- Using a standing mixer or handheld mixer, beat yam mixture until smooth. Slowly add two eggs, condensed milk, and blend those in as well.
- Egg wash unbaked pie crust and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Carefully pour yam mixture into pie crust.
- Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Serve Traditional Southern Sweet Potato Pie and enjoy!
