Sweet Potato Pies

I've never made a sweet potato pie, so I got an old family recipe from someone at work, and started assembling all of the ingredients needed for this old favorite.  We peeled our organic sweet potatoes that arrived in our organic vegetable bin last week, cooked and mashed them, and set them on the sideboard to cool.

The crust was prepared, and I lined one large 9 inch pie pan and three mini-pie pans with the rolled-out dough.  The heavy cream and spices were added to the sweet potato and egg mixture, and then poured into the crust. The pies were baked for one hour in a moderate oven until set.

The aroma of these baking pies was wonderful, and the taste and texture of the pies was superior to the pumpkin pies I have made for years.  We'll definitely add this pie recipe to the offerings from the Maltby Pie Company!
