Gabbie's Sweet Potato Pie
"Gabbie brought these to work for our "Soul Food" luncheon. Everyone raved about it, so I got the recipe and tried it with Splenda. My family loved it too."

I found this a tad too sweet but my bf absolutely loved it. So much so that it was completely gone way to fast! This was also my first time making sweet potato pie and I'm definitely gonna make this again! -
I've never made sweet potato pie before, so I don't have much to compare it to. But, everyone at my dinner party liked it and my picky sister even went back for seconds. I wasn't sure how much vanilla & nutmeg to use (and would suggest that the recipe be changed to give a suggested amount or range). After looking at some other Zaar recipes, I decided to go with 1 tsp of each. I also added 1 tsp of cinnamon and made two other changes. I peeled the potatoes & cut them up into large chunks before boilig...it just seemed easier than trying to remove peels from a hot soft potato. I also used Mirj's Recipe #59199 instead of the pastry pie crust since I made this during Passover and couldn't use flour. It turned out great. One pie made 10 slivers, but really would serve 6 with normal size slices.

<p>I am one of the early members of Zaar joining in October 2001. It was instantly my favorite site even though there were only about 5000 recipes. Back then the original owners Troy and Gay ran the site and they had a lot of interaction with the members. I miss them. <br /> <br />Through the years it still remains to this day my favorite go to site and the one that I send all of my friends and family to when they need anything.</p>
