Among my friends, only one stands out as a great fan and connoisseur of sweet potato pie. And so for Michael Stokes’ birthday last week, I knew exactly what to make. Michael grew up eating his mother’s delicious, rich sweet potato pie. While people all over the U.S. love sweet potatoes, they’re especially favored by Southerners, and by those who, like Michael, have family ties to the South. I know his mother’s pies were rich and delicious because I’ve tasted one he made from her recipe. A really good pie it was. My recipe is not as rich and not as sweet, but it is high in pure sweet potato flavor, and Michael ate it with great enthusiasm. In fact, that unfinished half pie in the photo? It went home with Michael. This is a pie I think you’d be happy to serve to all your family and friends anytime during the coming holiday season, and you’ll find the recipe after the jump..
