Southern Sweet Potato Pie
This recipe is very popular here in the South. It's a particular favorite at our house because we always have plenty of sweet potatoes in our garden. Try it with a dollop of whipped cream. —Bonnie Holcomb, Fulton, Mississippi8 ServingsPrep: 15 min. Bake: 55 min. + chilling
