As a southern girl who regularly makes sweet potato pie for Thanksgiving I can't wait to try your recipe. As for those fibers the trick that my grandmother taught me is to use hand mixer, what it does is it pulls all of those fibers out and you take the beaters out and rinse them up under the water in your sink about three or four times and all of those strings that are in sweet potatoes get pulled out. That's the way to get rid of all of those nasty little fibers, just thought I'd share..
My mama does the same with the hand mixer. Maybe I’ll start with the hand mixer to grab as many fibers first, then use my processor to get a creamy purée/custard. It may be redundant, but I’ll try that. 🤷🏽♂️
Really guys try it Frfr I said the same thing but I did it once and it made the pie taste better when u do it your self I did just try it at least once
@Antonio Myers what do you mean ew? squash and yams go good together. they both taste similar too! if you tried that person's pie and they didn't say it was mixed you wouldn't even know.
I make my mother’s sweet potato pie recipe every year for Thanksgiving. This year I tried this recipe. WOW! This is definitely my go-to recipe from now in. The crust was delicious and flaky. The filling was smooth and well seasoned. Even my mother would approve 😀
I may have to try this recipe as the seasonings are different than what my family has always used. I'm curious how this will taste. I'll try it NOT at Thanksgiving because changing the recipe will cause a fight
In Egypt where I live, we don’t have ready made pie crust but have lots and lots of cheap sweet potatoes 0.10 cent per pound! So, I was forced to make my first ever crust from scratch in 13” pie pan and Oh boy! it turns perfect! golden flaky crust with little adjustment of quantities to accommodate the extra space. Thank you so MUCH!
OMG! Amazing recipe! I never tried sweet potato pie until I taught in a predominantly black school and it was served at a faculty pot luck. I fell in love with it and one of the parents had a baking business on the side. So we always bought one from her for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I was always reluctant to try to make it myself because it was always difficult to keep the "stringy fibers" out of the pie. But your recipe made it so easy. I just baked one for Thanksgiving and it turned out perfectly. Thanks for an amazing recipe.
@@lauralewis3769 I processed it like crazy in the Cuisinart Food Processor until completely smooth (approx. 5 minutes) - note: the sweet potatoes must be thoroughly cooked
Finally someone who makes a delicious pie because also the crust being homemade is the one of the biggest flavor makers in a delicious pie. I judge all my pies by the crust : )) as much as the filling.
Dear John, as a Brit, thank you so much for making this. I've been wanting to try this for years, but here in the UK virtually no one has ever heard of pies like these, not even pumpkin pie. I also like how you measure in grams which comes in handy for people like me used to measuring like that. Of course everyone raves over Patti pies, but from what I understand they taste synthetic.
They are a definite HARD PASS(meaning definite, not hard-to-do), for me. I know everyone swears by their own recipe. That was the very thing that motivated my purchase; a lil comparison. No Shade or disrespect to Ms. LaBelle but.......I have passed on many-a Sweet Potato Pie over the years, with the same flavor profile. Mine ain’t that; it’s just NOT! But I get it! Ms. LaBelle’s recipe is an example of the “base-model” of this pie’s potential. An example of what this pie’s main notes are. It begs for adaptation though. It must yield to the traditional flavor, but some have learned to do that, while modifying here or there, to intensify flavor.... But yeah! Nah, I’ll pass on the Patti Pies!🤷🏾♀️
Yeah her pie is def. not my mom's pie. You have to try sweet potato pie--it's the best! I've never had pumpkin pie and I don't want it because homemade sweet potato is the best!
Every time someone asks me to make a new pue I havent made before, I come to this channel. I have never been disappointed, you are now my go to for how to make any pie!
I need to try this .One my grown kids loves sweet potatoes. I've never actually tried this. My kids love every recrpie I ever made from your channel !!
Omg! This pie is so delicious! I am 33, and today was the first time I made a pie crust from scratch...Thanks to you John; I will be ready for the holidays ❤
Ingredients For the Pie Crust: ▢ 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 300g, plus more for rolling ▢ 1/4 cup granulated sugar 50g ▢ 1/2 tsp sea salt 3g ▢ 1 cup unsalted butter 227g, chilled ▢ 1/4 cup ice water 60mL For the Filling: ▢ 2 lb sweet potatoes ▢ ½ tsp cinnamon 1g ▢ ¼ tsp ground ginger ▢ 1/4 tsp nutmeg ▢ ¾ cup brown sugar 150g ▢ ½ cup heavy cream 120mL ▢ 2 tsp vanilla extract 10mL ▢ 2 eggs ▢ 1 egg yolk For the Egg Wash: ▢ 1 egg ▢ 1 tbsp heavy cream 15mL
I love sweet potato pie! I'm from Canada, and it's not super duper popular here, but it should be! It's one of those recipes that I never memorize and I probably do a little different every time, yet it still turns out beautifully 👌
Yep, gonna be makin this one in a few days....after I make your Cheesecake recipe tonight! Thank you John for all of your tenacity and passion in giving us your AAHmazing recipes! :)
@@xshinee0bubblesx I'm Mexico we have always had purple sweet potato, along side with the orange and withe one, we call them "camote". I'm not sure if it's the same as Ube, anyways, fusion food is a delight 😌🤤
Ok John I have made many of your recipes and they have never failed me. I have always made my grandmothers pie I am going to try yours and I can’t wait
I was looking for a good sweet potato pie recipe to try for Christmas this year, and then I found this master piece creation of a recipe so I'm definitely gonna try it for Christmas this year thanks for the recipe it looks so delicious.
I make sweet potato pies every holiday season for friends and family members. I am still trying to perfect my crust so i will be trying this crust. I also add lemon zest and juice to my pies and it is so delicious. I always use a hand blender and blend the crap outta my filling. Ive never had any issues with the stringy fiber.
Yummy! Looks so good. I have been making everything you have been making and everything is fantastic and yummy. My family and extended family have enjoyed all the baking recipes. During this pandemic, you have helped so much because when I get depressed I just whip out one of your recipes and start baking. Thank you... And always looking forward to your next recipe.
I used your sweet potato pie filling recipe for mini pies, they turned out excellent & didn't last more than 1 day. I'll make more tomorrow for Thanksgiving. Have a blessed Thanksgiving 🦃
This turned out nicely. Heavy cream is nice because it is the foundation for butter. However, butter and lemon juice in the batter makes all the difference.
John - You Are My all Time Favorite “ Anything Great To Eat “ Instructor ~ Not a only Are Your Recipes GREAT 🙏 “ YOU ARE SO SMART “ In The Kitchen For Sure 👍
Went through a lot of videos before finding this one. Seems everyone wants to spend the first fifteen minutes talking about grandma Wilson's pie and how she had to chop the firewood while chasing off the bears before going into making the actual pie, WITHOUT PROVIDING A LIST OF INGREDIENTS OR MEASUREMENTS! This video got right to business. Thank you.
I have never made a pie before EVER... AND I have never even tasted a sweet potato pie before....but just looking at the thumbnail I was sure it was going to be gooooddd and I wasn't disappointed!!! Its the BEST FREAKING sweet potato pie EVER !!!!! 😃😃 Obviously both the filling and the crust turned out better than I expected. I especially loved the fall flavors with the ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon and the RUM😄. Thank you for the awesomest recipe ever !!!
OMG! I was about to search for some sweet potato pie recipes for my sister who loves it and the notification popped up, thank you very much! Love your videos! 💜😭
Try Morrisons Sweet Potato Pie recipe. . It was a cafeteria in Louisiana and their pie recipe is famous and delicious. I make them every holiday season. So much better than pumpkin
I had a request for sweet potato pie so making this tonight. I have the crust out and softening so it can be baked here soon. Once you've made your own pie crust, you can't go back to store bought. BTW, I don't have a food processor so I did it by hand. Been making crust that way for years and they come out perfect. Thank you John for all of your wonderful recipes.
I've just recently discovered you, and I'm absolutely in love with how you go step by step. Great sense of humor. Such a joy to watch 😊 Do you live in CT? I'm from there myself; Bethel.
I do like sweet potato pie and I watched everything that you did so I will be coming back to listen to more your recipes thank you and have a blessed day Sarah on Sarah Arnold thank you
Growing up in the South, sweet potato pie was a staple for Thanksgiving. A lot of people have pumpkin pie, (which I love), but for me, nothing says Thanksgiving desert like a good sweet potato pie.
Thank you sir for this Yummy Sweet Potato Pie recipe! Oh my it looks so delicious I want to make it soon! & Thank tou so much for the tips on the crust wash! !
I made this last year from your website - didn't care for it. Way to fluffy. I grew up eating sweet potato pie which was somewhat dense. To each his own.

That's the way to get rid of all of those nasty little fibers, just thought I'd share..
I like keeping the fibers because I can trick my brain into thinking all those slices I'm eating are just high fiber healthy snacks.
@@rcbuckets 😂😂
My mama does the same with the hand mixer. Maybe I’ll start with the hand mixer to grab as many fibers first, then use my processor to get a creamy purée/custard. It may be redundant, but I’ll try that. 🤷🏽♂️
@@rcbuckets And we all need more fiber in our diets. Funny but good thought. 😆
I just puréed them in the food processor and didn’t have any fibers.
Its a southern Classic....neh.... requirement at every southern holiday table.
Facts! To me a properly made sweet potato pie beats pumpkin pie any holiday!
Honey I'm not making a pie crust, but this tips are going to help my frozen crust so thanks for sharing.
Same
What you say honey 😂
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Really guys try it Frfr I said the same thing but I did it once and it made the pie taste better when u do it your self I did just try it at least once
I’m definitely more of a sweet potato pie girl! No shade to you pumpkin pie lovers 🤗
i mix mine pumpkin & sweet ' tato
Yup
@Antonio Myers what do you mean ew? squash and yams go good together. they both taste similar too! if you tried that person's pie and they didn't say it was mixed you wouldn't even know.
Same!!!
Why not have both at the same time? :)

So great to hear! I will make it next week for sure!
That pour of vanilla had big "two shots of vodka" energy lol. Can't wait to mix it up and make this instead of/in addition to pumpkin pie next week!
I may have to try this recipe as the seasonings are different than what my family has always used. I'm curious how this will taste. I'll try it NOT at Thanksgiving because changing the recipe will cause a fight
Make both?
@@GeminieCricket ooh a taste off 🤔
😂 I know that's right
Don’t you dare lol
I think you'll be fine. It's not like you putting avocados in that mug. This is how my grandma makes it.... almost to a T.

homemade crust makes the pie awesome!

How did you get rid of the stringy fibers?
@@lauralewis3769 I processed it like crazy in the Cuisinart Food Processor until completely smooth (approx. 5 minutes) - note: the sweet potatoes must be thoroughly cooked
take the softened potato's and run a hand mixer through it 3-4 times, rise off the fibers after each run until blades are clean.
I just love watching him bake! He’s so calming🥰
I made your recipe for Thanksgiving last year. I'd never actually had a sweet potato pie before. I really loved it.
*stares at his perfectly white smile*
You too can have that for about 10k.
