If you’re looking for the best sweet potato pie recipe, just like Grandma or Mama used to make, you’re in the right place. This Southern sweet potato pie is smooth, rich, and perfect for the holidays—Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Sunday supper.

In this video, I’ll show you how to make two sweet potato pies using simple ingredients:

2 eggs

2/3 cup evaporated milk

1 tbsp all-purpose flour

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 stick melted butter

1 tbsp vanilla extract

Cinnamon (optional)

Blend until smooth and creamy using an immersion blender to get rid of those sweet potato strings. Pour into two frozen pie crusts (baked or unbaked—your choice) and bake at 350°F for about an hour, or until set and no longer jiggly.

These pies come out velvety and full of flavor—just like the ones that were always on our holiday table growing up.

If you’re looking for a classic southern dessert, this sweet potato pie is it. Smooth, creamy, and just like the ones made for Sunday dinner or holiday tables. I’ll show you how to make it. Welcome to New South Table. I’m Melissa and I’m glad you’re here. My Carolina roots run deep from farm life to church suppers. I cook bold and simple just like the southern women before me. Now I’m sharing it from the beautiful South Carolina coast. Hit subscribe and pull up a seat. You’ll start with four to five sweet potatoes. Give them a good rinse and place them in a large pot. You’ll cover these with water and boil them until they are fork tender. Once they’re done, you’ll cool them off. The peelings should slide right off of them and then mash them up. In a large mixing bowl, you will add three cups of mashed sweet potatoes, two eggs, 2/3 cup of evaporated milk, 1 tbsp of flour, 1 and 1/2 cups of sugar, one stick of melted butter, 1 tbsp of vanilla extract. If you like cinnamon, you can add cinnamon here, but we don’t do that. Now, you know how sweet potatoes are often stringy? This is how you’re going to prevent that. You can use an immersion blender or a regular blender to mix the ingredients until the batter is very smooth. Just be patient with this process. Takes a little bit. There you go. Do you see how smooth this is? Now, grab you some frozen pie crust. If you like a more crispy crust, you might want to pre-bake these for about 8 minutes before adding the batter, but I prefer mine just like this, right out of the freezer. You’ll add the batter to the pie crust. This recipe should make two pies with a little batter left over, but you can always bake that leftover batter in a small ramkin if you would like, or just use a deep dish pie crust. And this is the end product. You’ll bake it at 350°. Make sure you preheat your oven. It will take about an hour. Keep a check on these using an oven mitt. You’ll know they’re done when they the filling no longer jiggles. This is the way my mama made sweet potato pie. And this is how we love them. Smooth, sweet, and creamy. Enjoy.
