This Mississippi sweet potato pie is very popular 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, Mississippi

Test Kitchen Tips

Leftover unsweetened mashed sweet potatoes work well in this recipe. If you don't have mashed sweet potatoes on hand, prepare them by microwaving or roasting until softened.

Corn syrup is an invert sugar, meaning it is liquid in its natural state. This quality helps it stop sugar crystals from forming in frostings, candies and other sweet recipes.
