My grandma’s sweet potato pie was legendary. I have never made it but we have it every year for Thanksgiving. Two weeks ago I ran across some online sweet potato pie smoothie recipes. I tried a couple but none of them met the mark. I finally decided to ask my mom about the original recipe. Apparently my grandmother only used lemon and nutmeg to season the potatoes.
This is my favorite of the versions I have tried over the last few weeks. If you have time let the sweet potato sit in the lemon juice for 30 mins to soften it.
