As I commented yesterday, today I baked Sweet Potato Pie, using Alton Brown’s recipe. Here it is, fresh from the oven.
This being my third pie, I had no problem making my own crust. I started with apple pie. And you can hardly fail to follow up on Thanksgiving without making a turkey pot pie. Once that happens, there’s no end to blathering about pie.
I tend to follow recipes close as I can, but I had a suspicion that the yogurt was a substitute for something else, so I used sour cream instead. I also have mass quantities of garam masala, so I used that for the spices. And I forgot to toast the pecans first. Other than that, I followed it to the letter.
Guess what? It tastes just like sweet potato pie. Yum.

You can never go wrong with Alton Brown recipes.
Hey Bob! Nice to see you.
Very true about the Alton Brown. What I like about this pie is that it’s not so sweet you fear for your teeth. It just lets the sweet potato flavor come through. I still think the best way to cook one is to wrap it in foil and roast it and mash it up with butter and salt and pepper.
