AUTUMN SWEET POTATO SHEPHERD'S PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

• Bake in the preheated oven until flavors are well combined and sweet potatoes are browned, about 30 minutes.

WORLD'S BEST SWEET POTATO PIE

Steps:

• Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 40 to 50 minutes. Drain water, peel sweet potatoes, and mash in a bowl.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Mix butter and eggs together in a bowl until smooth; stir into mashed sweet potatoes. Mix milk, sugar, flour, vanilla extract, nutmeg, baking powder, and lemon juice into sweet potato mixture; pour into the 3 pie shells.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Lower oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue to bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a pie comes out clean, about 40 minutes more. Cool pies for 15 to 30 minutes before refrigerating to cool completely, 1 to 2 hours.

SWEET POTATO AUTUMN PIE

Steps:

• Roll out half the pastry and fit into a standard pie tin.
• Leave the edges flat and cut them off a bit over the edge.
• Chill down hard.
• Meanwhile, take the rest of the pastry and roll out, then cut out about 30 leaves from it.
• Place them on a sheet pan and chill.
• Mix all of the ingredients for the filling together (sweet potato through bourbon).
• Pour into the well-chilled crust.
• Use the egg wash to attach the pastry leaves to the edge of the pie crust, then brush them with the remaining egg wash.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 1 hour.
• Chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
• Serve with unsweetened whipped cream.
• NOTE: Just bake 3 medium sized sweet potatoes in the oven until nice and soft.
• Scoop out the flesh and mash very well in your mixer.
• This should give you a little over 2 cups.
• You can substitute pumpkin for the sweet potatoes if you like.
