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..

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.

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. 🤷🏽‍♂️

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Thanks for the AMAZING recipe

Sweet potato pie is a STAPLE in my Thanksgiving cuisine rotation.

I do a similar recipe. I add both lemon and orange zest. Very aromatic!
