sweet potato pie ("vegetable protein dish")

 Looking for less sugar always, this is what I've come up with:

  • 1.5 pounds sweet potatoes cooked (so a bit more raw)
  • 2 T butter
  • 1/2 c. brown sugar
  • 1/2 c. milk (any percent, half & half, evaporated, etc.)
  • a bit of salt
  • 1tsp+ vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
  • mace or cardamom or other spices
  • 2 eggs

Bake sweet potatoes (about 3 medium) for about 55 minutes at 425 degrees.  Allow to cool and peel.

Blend sweet potatoes in a food processor.  Add butter and blend some more.  Add the rest of the ingredients and blend together.

Bake in uncooked pie crust* at 350 for about 55 minutes.


*I want to figure out a nicer pie crust than usual ones, which don't excite me.  Graham cracker crust?  Shortbread?
