Paula Dean Sweet Potatoe Pie Recipe

I concur that the amount of sugar listed in the recipe seems too small. I upped the quantity to 2/3 cup of white sugar. Having said that, this is a remarkably easy recipe to fit in to even the time constraints of a full menu, resulting in a pie so delicious that battles ensued as to who will get third helpings. Strongly recommend to cooks of all skill levels. Read More

This was my first time ever making a sweet potatoe pie and it was a hit. Quick and easy. Friends and family loved it. I made enough for 2 pies (I cooked 3 large size sweet potatoes.) Thanks for a wonderful recipe. Read More

I feel sort of bad giving this review to this recipe because clearly I'm in the minority of those who've submitted a review but I didn't like this recipe at all! This was the first sweet potato pie that I 've made. I've read that oftentimes sweet potato pie is so much better than regular pumpkin pie so I was anxious to try a sweet potato pie. I followed the recipe exactly but my husband and I both didn't like it. Of course I'm comparing it to pumpkin and maybe that's wrong (like comparing apples to oranges). I therefore didn't rate this recipe. Unfortunately I ended up throwing the pie out and the recipe. I'll stick to pumpkin. Read More

My guests loved this receipe! I was not sure if the ingredient rum meant extract or pure so I used pure Puerto Rican spiced rum and it gave the pie a wonderful flavor! Read More

This recipe is great! I made it this evening and couldn't let it cool before trying it. This was so quick to assemble with the processor my three year old helped. I cut back on the sugar since I have gestational diabetes and it was still delicious. Other than that I followed the directions pretty closely though I added a little more spices to compensate for the reduced sugar. I think I put in about a 1/4 off a cup of brown sugar. I did add a little vanilla but that just makes sense... This came out really great it satisfied my craving without making me ill. Read More

Great pie!! Didn't think it looked right going in the oven but turned out fantastic! Top it off with a pecan and brown sugar mixture during the last 15 minutes of baking and it's good to go. Read More

I love this pie. It's the best sweet potatoe pie recipe that I've found. My family friends and co-workers make it disappear really fast. You have got to try it:) Read More

Although this pie was texturally excellent no one in my family enjoyed the rum taste. I am going to try it again omitting the rum and adding a bit more sugar. Read More

This was very very good. I put on a topping from another recipe (Sweet Potato Pie). I will make this for Thanksgiving. dggilmore Read More
