My grandpa used to make a bunch of these for Thanksgiving and always hid one for me to have by myself. He passed away unexpectedly last year, before he ever wrote down the recipe. This year, I plan to start creating my own recipe in his beloved memory. I think this will be excellent recipe to start a new family tradition 😊

If you want to avoid overmixing the custard at the end, I'd mix the sugar and spices together before adding to the sweet potato. You won't have to work out clumps of spices, so less mixing.

Just showed my sister the strawberry lemonade cake video after watching this pie. She said she wishes she could bake alongside of you, because she feels you would help her better her skills in a gentle, nice way!! You're just the kindest soul! Thank you for sharing your baking skills and smiling face with us!

I'm Southern, I was born in Louisiana it's great to see you tackle the sweet potato pie. It's my favorite but I can't make it like my mom. I can't wait to try yours out.

Chef's kiss to the chef! Honestly, I've made Sweet Potato Pie for many years -- patiently removing the strings. Whether using a hand mixer or stand mixer...and rinsing the beaters several times to remove the strings. But using the food processor is genius, a thousand thanks for the tip. And yes, my pies turned out light and fluffy and of course, delicious! Thanks sharing. Love the channel.

Don’t know how this is my first time stumbling across this young man. He has such a sweet disposition.

We always brush our store bought crusts with butter and blind bake them for about five minutes. Tastes so much better that way. Peel the potatoes by hand, put all of the ingredients in a blender, and then put it into the crusts. Ta Da! 😂❤

I made this yesterday. First time I’ve ever tasted a sweet potato pie, let alone made one. It was absolutely delicious, John. Thank you!

I love that you showed your sugarlanche. It's important for us diy home cookers to see that faux pas happen to perfectionists too. Thank you for being humble and showing those little kitchen accidents.🥰

I used purple sweet potatoes, brown sugar and cut back on the ginger since I’m not a big fan of it and it came out delicious

My 77 year young mother makes sweet potatoe pie for Thanksgiving, Christmas, new year, Easter, and every other Sunday ...urs looks 👍🏽

I grew up With my grandmother and my mom’s sweet potato’s pie . You can boil the potato, does not change the how the pie is made. It’s what you put into the potatoes to make it a great tasting pie

This looks amazing. My Mom and I were always looking for a great sweet potato pie recipe and this looks like it might be the one. Sadly this will be my first Thanksgiving without her. But I will make this pie in her honor and keep the tradition of the holiday that she loved so much.❤

What a beautiful pie! 😍 I love to add brown butter, a lil' fresh lemon juice, light Muscovado brown sugar, fresh nutmeg, Ceylon cinnamon, sometimes a lil' fresh orange juice, and condensed milk for contrasting flavors.

I am not a fan of blind baking or at least for too long. I would half the time or at least a 1/4 of a time with aluminum around the edges of the crust.

I will definitely try your butter pie crust!🎉🎉🎉🎉

[AdrienneCM]

I knew this was going to be a great recipe when he started with roasted sweet potatoes! I never boil mine for yummy pies 💜

[LuckyLiger-zghx]

Did exactly as you instructed. Both pies were amazingly delicious. The potatoes were so silky smooth after the food processing. Thank you for that simple and easy direction. 😀👍🏾

[brendamaxson]

I absolutely love sweet potato pie. Growing up with Southern parents and grandmothers i had it from time to time. Yummm

John Kanell joins Chris Morocco of Bon Appetit as by far the best cooking teachers we have. Both articulate the process very well, explain the whys and hows of measuring, seasoning, mixing and technique. Bravo!!
