Sweet Potato Pie
If you love Pumpkin Pie then you will love this Sweet Potato Pie too! It is very easy to make and you can use store bought refrigerated pie crust or make your own.
Rinse whole sweet potatoes with water to remove any dirt. Place the potatoes in a pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Cover and boil until tender when pierced with a fork, about 40-50 minutes.
When they are done cooking, drain and run cold water over them.
Preheat the oven 350º.
Remove the inside flesh of the potatoes and place them in a large bowl, add the butter.
Using an electric mixer, beat until smooth.
Add the sugar, eggs, salt, ginger, cloves, cinnamon and milk.
Beat with the mixer to combine.
Place one pie crust dough into a deep 9” pie dish.
Pour the sweet potato mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50-60 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a cooling rack.
Then serve!

Looks delicious 😋
Thank you!
Delicious 😋 I have had the pie both ways. In my opinion, you are not able to tell which is which. My youngest son loves pumpkin 🎃 and when he was young one time when we had friends over for dinner I made a sweet potato pie and pasted it off as a pumpkin pie 🥧 and he loved it – he never knew it was sweet potato 😊
The taste was the same but pumpkin pie texture seems a little smoother even though I used the mixer with the sweet potato pie. But then again, had I not known I probably would have thought the texture was the same. 🤣
What a nice idea Diane!
Thank you, it tasted just like pumpkin pie.
yummy
Thank you Beth 🥰
This looks so tasty. Really easy recipe and steps to follow as well, will have to give this a try!
Thank you Paul and enjoy, it was really good. Better if I had bought whipping cream. 🤦🏽♀️
Wonderful
Thank you Paul
My pleasure Diane
trying this one
Enjoy Kev I will definitely be making it again.
I use sweet potatoes a lot but have never had them in a pie!
This was my first time making or tasting sweet potato pie. Most sweet potato pies have a lot of nutmeg in them and I was afraid it would be way too much for me. I decided to use the same spices I make my pumpkin pie with and am I glad I did. Other than the texture it tasted just like pumpkin pie.
This looks delicious, Diane. Thank you!
I will definitely be making this again Kellye. Thank you my friend!
Now it’s nearing Thanksgiving time – soon you’ll be featuring your yummy Christmas cookies!
I hope I can make them this year Linda. I already told everyone we are eating out for Thanksgiving and I’m not hosting Christmas. I said we will visit everyone at their house. I am hoping to take a tray of cookies for them but we will see.
I’m glad you’ll be catching a break with the Christmas meal Diane … that’s a lot of work and you don’t need that right now. I hope you can come up with a solution for the cookies as well. K know they’re a lot of work as well.
Thank you Linda, maybe a miracle will happen and all this pain will go away. 🙏
I keep you in my daily prayers Diane … I hope it will go away too.
Thank you Linda!
You’re welcome Diane.
I am a huge fan of sweet potato pie! Thanks for sharing another great recipe!
You are welcome Mary. I have always wanted to make one and my goodness am I glad that I did.
I’m sorry your body is not in a good place. The evidence is in your already opting out of cooking for the holidays. Your blog makes it clear how much you enjoy cooking—when you are not in pain. I’m praying for pain relief and healing for you. 🙏🏼 I’ve heard of sweet potato pie, but I’ve never had any. It looks just like pumpkin pie—only more perfect with no cracks on the top. Beautiful!
Thank you for your kind words Linda. I try to post one new recipe each week as with any luck I get one good day a week. I have learned to accept it and not feel guilty about backing off from the things I used to do, one day at a time. ❤️
Looks delicious my favorite.
I’ll have a small piece pls. 😋
Thank you and I love your will power!
You most welcome. And thank you. ❤️
It looks like a pumpkin pie and I wouldn’t have guessed otherwise if you didn’t say what it was. I’ll have to try it out. Love sweet potatoes.
Oh please do, you won’t know the difference except that pumpkin pie is slightly smoother consistency. Let me know what you think Ab as I think it was wonderful.
It was my late husband’s favorite. A delicious pie.
He had good taste in pie and woman!
Wow, that looks incredible! I’ve never had sweet potato pie although I love sweet potatoes. I’m going to have to try this. Along with sweet potato donuts which is another recipe I recently saw.
You will love the pie and it was surprisingly easy. I never heard about sweet potato donuts!
I’m sure I will, pie is always good to be honest! Yeah, sweet potato donuts are a bit of trend or at least they were. I heard they’re really good and wanted to try them.
This was my father-in-law’s favorite Thanksgiving pie. I will make this to honor him. Thanks for the nudge.
What a nice memory Bernadette. You’re welcome.
Nice! We love pumpkin pie and have never tried it with sweet potatoes. It’s definitely going on our menu – thanks Diane 🍠.
You’re welcome!

(Apparently I have a problem leaving comments on your posts – it seems I reply in stead of comment. Not sure what’s going on with WordPress, but hopefully it will be sorted out soon)!
It tasted just like pumpkin pie but I just needed whipping cream. Lol Yes WP is really messing up and people are complaining.
Sweet Potato is good for health. Looks delicious! Thank you 👏
I thought it was delicious and wish I had made it before this, you’re welcome!
