Baked potatoes & real butter makes a big difference you should try it
Hanging with the James' s sweet potatoes pie
cici2kings I agree. Plus, you need vanilla, & lemon extract, they both bring out the natural sweetness of the potato’s .

James Gandy Yes?
I see so many people complaining about how she made HER sweet potato pie. Learning how to cook and bake was the best thing for me. I learned that I could make things per MY taste. Everyone doesn’t have the same pallet as you. I make mine and I use vanilla and butter and evaporated milk plus corn starch and it comes out amazing! And no I don’t measure anything. This is the way she was taught to make her pie. It looks delicious. Y’all need to stop being so opinionated and judgmental.
Right on! Her pie looks great and I bet it is yummy. Yours sounds good too!
Fact it looks good
So what you're saying is everything you cook taste nasty
novembersbabygirl well said and I couldn't agree with you more. For example, I don't use cinnamon in my family recipe because we never did. But I've tasted it with cinnamon baked in it and it's not bad - I just don't prefer it. I use real butter, not margarine. I don't use brown sugar, but have had it with the recipe using brown sugar from somewhere else and it wasn't bad. To each his own tastebuds!!! Jeez...
And that pie looks delicious!!!!
Whether u agree or disagree with how she makes HER OWN pie it's almost at 1 Millie you go head on and keep giving us recipes love and positivety
1.2 mill now 😍
I just want to let you know I’ve been using your video for the past 3 years and each time my family and friends love it. So thank you.
That is awesome so glad everyone loves it! Definitely one of my favorites
@@LifeWithLei I'm baking mine rn for the 1st time. How will I know when it's done? It Still is mushy in the middle. It's been cooking for an hour at 350°
Me too 😊😊😊
I made this recipe Saturday--I baked the sweet potatoes and I added about 3 tsp of orange zest and 1 tsp of real vanilla extract and a dash of salt--It turned out fabulous!!!
Yes or a little orange juice with lemon zest! So good!!!!
Afd vanilla and 🍋 flavor box of instant pudding make it delicious, also prebake shells so they are done.
In other words, you made a totally different Sweet Potatoe Pie. Haha
that's not her recipe
Yes I remember mom boiling the potatoes but I didn’t pay attention till she passed the. I gad to learn by her recipe. But I bake my potatoes turned out tasty but wasn’t as pretty as hers were like sunshine.
This is a prime example of someone who’s parents are country. We don’t need no measurements. Our ancestors wisper to us how much to put in. We just listen. Lol
Truer words have never been spoken lol
That was so funny!
@Blondie053 that's what happens when you snatch a people from their home and their families... Once they find their family again we do everything we can to never let them go... Human trafficking is not good for any body
LMAO it’s racist to talk about your ancestors? Everyone has ancestors that they learn from. Why must white people make everything about them. We Cant even bake a pie in peace without them tryin to ruin it 😂😂
Italians cook and bake to taste. No measurements.
So I did this out of boredom with my kids.... They loved it! we did 2 pies and they were gone in 24 hours... Thank you so much
24 hours? Mines about to be gone in one sitting, I have a big appetite!
bake the potatoes and use the vanilla. it makes a world of difference. your pie looks delicious though. good job!
i will try that next time thanks
You are so right
Sherry Ortiz , Yes and vanilla and add small amount of lemon juice. Yummy😝
I don't not like this sweet potoes videos you didn't say how much to measure
I agree baking the potatoes and that vanilla is necessary
I make my sweet potato pies with sweetened condensed milk. It creates a very nice texture.
I also use sweetened condensed milk😉👍
I's this in addition to everything else
@@eliwrestlesinstead of half and half.
This was perfect, and I used no vanilla. EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE is talking abt my pie!! The only significant difference was I added 1 TBS of honey as I mixed everything and BOOM, a whole success story lol
Thank you for sharing!! 😁
Why would anyone give this a thumbs down???? This was excellent, simple, to to the point! I'm definitely giving this a try. Thank you for posting.
Because she used margarine instead of real butter.. imperial is a margarine
I always appreciate every video I see because it takes time to record, prep the stuff, upload. Thank you. Also, not everyone had family growing up to teach them how to cook and this is why I'm here.
Thanks for watching
I made this recipe for thanksgiving. OMG. It was delicious. I made 4 pies and by Friday they were all gone. Thank you so much for sharing. This was my first time making sweet potatoe pies. I will definitely be using this recipe in the future. Thanks again. I also shared your recipe with my brother in law. He loved it.
Tangeria Miller I'm so glad they were a hit!!😁
So this recipe only makes one pie ???? I hope you answer soon ..
This will be my 3rd attempt to making this pie before I start selling them for the holiday. For research, I watched several videos including yours to see what everybody had in common with this recipe. I use pet milk instead and add a little flour. Also you guys, she doesn't show that you need to mix the sweet potatoes a few times by themselves to get the strings out if your reading this. That's a very important step. I also learned to pre bake my pie crust so it can fully baked through. No unbaked pie crust over here🤣. Overall good video ❤️
When she said I’m not sure why I have the vanilla. I said. “ Ooops time to go “
ZoodleInfo FR 😆 VANILLA IS A MUST
😂😂😂
facts then she lied talking about her camera died lmbooooo and proceeded to post an internet picture of someone elses pie. ok melania... i see u girl.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😹😹😹😹😹😹
I’m making my first sweet potato pie using your recipe girl and let me tell you the filling was gone before I could even bake the pie !
#Subscribed ❤
I made this for Thanksgiving instead of pumpkin this year. It was my 1st time making sweet potato pie. It was AMAZING It is requested again for Christmas. Thank you so much. ❣️❣️ Merry Christmas!
😆😆 you’re the new family favorite lol Merry Christmas
Best sweet potato pie I've made! I added a bit of vanilla and lemon extract, and baked the potatoes, butttt everything else I followed to the T!
My grandmother would have a bowl of water next to her and would mix, rinse some of the excess shreds, and repeat that step a few more times before adding a single ingredient! SMOOTH pies!
I'm going to try one without vanilla and see how it tastes.
Great color on the pie and the crust! 🥧
Chile, cook your food, how you cook your food. IT'S YOUR FOOD!
Yes
Oh, that looks so good. I can almost smell it! You did a great job on your editing and voiceover. Your voice and the music are very relaxing to listen to. The pie is beautiful!
Omg!!! Made the recipe as described and added vanilla to it. Sooo delicious it was a hit!!! Thank you!!!!
Girl!!! That's what I call a slice of heaven! 🤗
Not enough people know how to make a good sweet potato pie.
Good bless! 😋👍
6 years later and I still come back to see this video lol 😆 I need to start taking notes 📝
😂😂 love this!! so glad it’s a staple for thanksgiving
We've always used vanilla extract in the batter. Also, we use a ricer for the sweet potatoes. The strings are left in the ricer and the sweet potatoes are silky smooth.
Every time I have used an electric mixer for sweet potatoes, it clears out the strings. What’s a ricer? Curious to know if that’s more convenient.
Each person has their way of baking, she has her way. The pie looks delicious.if you seen how I made mine you probably would complain as well.beautiful pie by a beautiful lady. Thanks for sharing
It looks good I wonder how it taste
I appreciate how you quickly get to the video. Some people just be chatting about stuff before they start; about non-essential stuff.
You gotta add some evaporated milk, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt!
Juju Queen and REAL BUTTER
@@martinaw.9056 thank you real butter for show.
You younguns! Lol!
@@martinaw.9056 can I use vegetable oil as substitute?
@@ipulchritudinous2484 no ,but you can you use cornoal oil
My Momma always said if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all!
Then we wont say nothing bout that pants suit honey
@@jacobvaldez677 LMAOOOOO
Everything looks. So good. That sweet potatoe pie really reminds me off my childhood. Shot out to my mom. R.I.P...
I see a lot of people complaining based upon how they make their own pies but then I see other people who said they used this recipe and loved it. I think there is more than one way to make a good sweet potato pie. When you think about it all a sweet potato pie really is is baked mashed sweetened sweet potatoes. As long as the sweet potatoes have the right consistency and sweetness the pie will be fine. You can add whatever spices you want but at the end of the day if the pie filling has the right texture and sweetness it's going to taste good. It may not taste like the pie your mom and grandma make but it'll be good. I did not see any raisins or pecans so it's all good.
A+ for your quick presentation!!
Given me some idea how sweet potatoes pie was made!! 👍🙏
I ain’t never heard of a sweet potato pie without vanilla Ever
Vanilla flavor isn’t essential, it’s not like it makes a huge difference.
Everyone is different
First time for everything we appreciate ub
Lemon extract, no magerine (chemical) use butter, evaporated milk.... Other than that...you're on the mark for texture!
holli perkins Someone was taught right!
@@blsdhglyfvrd9372 TOTALLY AGREE . That's Sweet Potato Pie. One thing. My mother had a thing about the strings you can get with sweet potatoes . I put my cooked potatoes through a ricer before mixing. Somehow it makes the pie fluffier. It is extra work, but so worth it.
A lil bit of lemon extract but def do NOT leave out the vanilla, and I add Bordens condensed milk instead of evaporated. Perfect!
I never use margarine it is so bad for you health. Butter is so much healthier and good for you and makes everything taste so much better. 😋
Lemon extract NO .....PURE VANILLA EXTRACT
I have always baked my sweet potatoes. I would use butter, nutmeg,ginger ,cinnamon,pet milk, and Jack Daniels whiskey about 2tbsp,and 2tbsp flour to keep from being sticky. Mix until smooth., and pour in the 2 pie crusts, bake until slightly Brown on top.
I use dark rum!
I made my first pie using your recipe adding lemon extract and used evaporated milk instead of half and half. It was delicious and I thank you
How much evaporated milk?
Perfect!!!!!!
That pie has a beautiful color, I've ALWAYS wanted to make my own from scratch pray for me I'm going to try it. I will use the suggestions of some of the ladies, with the lemon extract and definitely vanilla I use vanilla in allot of stuff. Thank you so much
Thank you for this. I followed your video and the recipe and I am SO EXCITED at how my pies turned out! I made two of them and they are gone now, lol. Everyone has always loved my cooking, but I had never made deserts from scratch until now and it was the bomb, lol.
ChocolateDimples321 b
The pies are looking amazing
This recipe is great. For everyone with negative comments please keep them to yourself. This page is simple to help someone who hasn't made a pie or would like another way to bake . It's all in love people. I don't even know this lady but omg I saw alot of negativity. Everyone have a wonderful holiday and stay blessed
that sweet potato pie looks delicious and it's the perfect color
🇧🇿🇯🇲🇸🇷 West Indian Gyrl here and this was plain and simple!
The batter tastes great 😂
Hope the pie comes out just as good. Thanks ❤
Hope you enjoy
Love it! I’ve been craving a home made sweet potato pie and your video is just what I needed! Thank you!!!
ohhhhhhh GIRL!!! I'm not waiting for the holidays , I'm making this tonight in cupcake pans.. My Husband doesn't eat much and these will freeze awesomely!!!! Thank you soooo Much!!! I love it!!!!
Our ancestors "guesstimated" and it came out great! They had a natural inclination as to what worked. It's called intuition/a sixth sense which is not what it used to be. Put their feet in it!
My father was Southern raised and a magnificent cook. He seemed to cook from some inner knowledge or instinct, his food was so good. Once, I asked him for directions to a delicious meal he had made. Just the amount of ingredients to be used, how long to let the dish cook. His reply was, “season it till it tastes good, cook it till it’s done.”
My grandma didn't use recipes..i watched n learned this video works for me ..Its looks great thank you..❤
Her pie looks good.....complaining on here about her way of cooking is disrespectful. Everyone is different and that makes different ideas, recipes, projects, cooking, etc. Just look, learn and enjoy! Eazy peazy!!!😊 'Some" on here are stating to utilize vanilla flavor. Vanilla flavor and vanilla extract are (2) different products. Research and learn the difference. Other than that, "Take some time and enjoy the view'".😉😃😉
not using vanilla is disrespectful
Quick and not long and drawn out presentation.... love love love it!
THE BEST VIDEO EVER!!😋 I can't wait to try YOUR RECIPE!!
Have used your recipe for my first sweet potato pie & It came out delicious! Now my son keeps asking me to make another - Will be making this for my Spanish family in Madrid on New Years - thank u so much! 😘
You forgot lemon flavor and vanilla extract! Lol just kidding! Everybody makes their pie to fit them! So you do you! It looks amazing!
I made this for thanksgiving 2021. The only thing I did different was bake the potatoes. It my first time doing a pie, any type of pie.My kids tore it up. Preferred mine over some other pie my husband brought home from someone else’s house. This will be my go to recipe. Thanks for sharing
I add a little bit of allspice, vanilla extract and fresh lemon juice. Yours look great though!!
That's it exactly. The best pie you will ever eat.
I bake my potatoes (or microwave) and use canned milk. No nutmeg. Just cinnamon and cloves and/or pumpkin pie spice. Since I don't really measure stuff, sometimes I add a little bit of flour if the mixture seems to liquidy. Everything else is the same.
Looks delish! Good job!
Do anybody believe in Vanilla anymore???
I use it
Don't use milk either just eggs
I put vanilla in every sweet dish. I even put it in box pancake mix.
Both these new aged ppl
Or all spice? Clove ? Or any other old goodies
Thank you so much for the recipe . Made this yesterday and my family loved it . so delicious!!! 🤗 making this for thanksgiving 🥰👍 God bless and happy holidays 🎄
Thanks! Can't wait to make it for Thanksgiving this year - appreciate you making it so understandable - God Bless!
Before i touch anyone's SP pie, i look at the color, then taste. I know it may sound silly but thats me. My gramma & momma make sum good pies so thats how i judge my favs.
The color on this pie looks amaaazingly good! I cant wait to try it and eat it all by myself! (hubby luvs that boring pumpkin pie😁)
😂😂 yes we take sweet potato pies very seriously over here lol thanks for watching hope you enjoy 😊
I suggest you pre-bake your pie shells before filling them to give a crispy bottom crust.
Thats the best Sweet Potato Pie I've ever taste I baked it Thanks Giving, and my sister ate most all of it. Thank You for sharing
So glad you enjoyed it! ☺️
@@LifeWithLei this Cleopatra I making it again for thanksgiving
Everyone believes in something and everyone believes that their something is the right thing! Each persons do things differently to suite themselves 🤷🏽♀️
Great job! Just for everybody's info. If you score the potato, (take a paring knife and lightly cut around the middle of the potato), before you cook it the skin will slide right off! Best tip ever! I learned from "MaryAnn" (from Gilligan's Island) when she appeared in a cooking show.
The only thing I’d do differently is add a lil lemon juice a lil salt and vanilla extract 💖Great job honey I know that pie was good
Yess lemon is what my grandma put in hers.
We are in Australia and saw the pie in the movies so we decided to make it.. delicious 🤤 one day we will go to america and taste the real one ❤️
Definitely no disrespect meant here at all so please please please don't take it that way. I do think there are a lot of people out there, based on other TH-cam videos I've seen regarding cooking, who do not realize that margarine and butter are not the same thing. So I definitely, like others have said here, would recommend butter. Butter makes everything better and if you think it tastes good with margarine you'd probably faint dead away from satisfaction when you taste it with butter!
Tawana Cooper
Butter.." is 100..% natural..." thus Healthier.." not to mention it gives a richer flavor to whatever it is added to.
Margerine.." on the other hand is not Healthy due to the fact that it is man made and is chemically a few molecules shy of being plastic.." So yes whenever a dish calls for the use of oil or margarine please consider using butter while a bit more fattening your body can process it better than it can margarine.."
@@otisussery9124 I'm not sure what gave you the impression that I do not use butter I was just trying to point out that some people don't realize that there is a difference. I am very well aware of the difference and I only only only use butter! And besides that I live in Wisconsin, the dairy state!😃
Tawana Cooper
One should presume that I had read your reply prior to my deciding to add a reply. Which suggest that I am agreeing with you and further explaining to others who presumably might read both our
replies suggesting the use of butter as oppose to margarine. And pointing out specifically why one might want to do so.
There is nothing in the reply that you can construe as being in opposition but to the contrary it is agreeable in its overall tone thus intent"
I live in the south and certainly we have our share of dairy farms as well.." Thanks for sharing.."
TR Cooper Amen
OTIS USSERY Amen
Looks delicious! Let's go to the table and eat! Thanks for sharing!
Bake your potatoes, use pet milk, and use the vanilla flavor.. a co worker made a pie it was perfect. She ask my opinion I said all it need was some vanilla flavor.
Sweet potato pie. Recipes
Your pie looks bomb! I literally just pulled up a random video to see how much filling was poured in because I thought I filled mine too high but I’m good after seeing yours. Lol!
bake the potatoes so u don't boil away the flavor
I will try that next time thanks for the suggestion
For how long?
Thank you so much for sharing that bake instead of boiled method
@flowerpress1 If a person wants to bake the potato it is the right way for them. Everyone does not cook the same. By baking the potatoes they are super flavorful. The way you make your pie is most likely flavorful. You do your way and everyone else is allowed to do their thing. There is no right or wrong way.
I bake mine too!! I hate the strings so I try to chop them up after wards
I totally vouch for this sweet potato pie recipe ANYDAY! It’s THAT good!! Pattie La Belle who??!!!
Thank you! That looks delicious and very easy to make 😋❤️
I just got done following & baking pie. Will cool and try a slice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Recipe easy to follow. Also, the aroma of sweet potato pie in my place. Awesome! Thank you for sharing. Winter is right around the corner.
This was so easy and she explained it nicely
Key Royale not really bc she didn't give us measurements ! We don't know how much to even put in the pie lmao
@@123xoxHellokitty they’re in the description
First time making this pie and I’m in love😍😍😍😍😍😍 now I understand why this can’t miss on thanksgiving
I prefer butter instead of margarine. This is an easy recipe you have, very nice.
Thank you Lei for sharing your video. This is the best video that I have found on how to make sweet potato pie. They turned out really good. I did add vanilla extract. Sometimes I also use lemon extract to add more flavor.
Listen we all started somewhere and had to grow, we don't know if she just started cooking or maybe this is just how she was taught but use real butter and the vanilla and bake the potatoes.
U did a great job! This is the first time I’ve seen someone come close to my grandmothers recipe. She uses milk and half and half , vanilla, and some flour to give it a thickness. I don’t see a difference in baking or boiling the potatoes🤷🏽♀️
I understand every family has there own way of doing things but I would encourage you to add both real vanilla & lemon extract to your recipe. It looks like you could go in a bit heavier with the sugar as well. I think you will find your pie to be far more tasty.
She needs two cups of white sugar not brown mixed with white she needs lemon flavor it makes the pie taste better.
kevseb66
No lemon, yes vanilla!
It is best to use vanilla and lemon extract Incarnation cream and real butter and white cane sugar that's the best trust me
When he comes back again
Lemon extract instead of the juice will make it a little less tart; try that and yes, baking the potatoes will help the color to stay deep orange and keep the sweet potato taste
What happened to the recipe of how much to put in the pie
My grandma was from the country and the best pies to me start with baked sweet potatoes keeps the flavor in the potatoes better.imho.take care😊
Girl your sweet potato pie look the bomb
Thank for this great video ! I tried it and came out soo good . Everyone asking me to make another batch . THANK YOU
You're killing me...looks so good!
That looks delicious!! I can't wait to try making it.. Thank you so much for sharing!
Girl you did that
Your the only one that could tell me how long to bake my pies thank you
Sorry, everyone have their own way of cooking and taste. My family of many generations of cooks wouldn't except this...It may look good, but how it taste?
"THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING ". Real butter, real vanilla beans,real spices etc. It's a difference. I was taught back 5 generation of cooks. There's a balance art in cooking.
I made this but added Vanilla extract and it was a hit! My family loved it! Thank you for sharing! :))
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed it thanks for watching
Banana extract is good with the vanilla
Ok thats exactly how i prepare mine the only difference i do not boil my pototes i bake them .i think you loose your sweet nutrients when you boil them but i have boiled them also .
But i do use real vanilla
No matter if you baked or boiled, why are you concerned with the nutrients that has been over powered with loads of sugar and everything else which makes this far from a nutritious dessert? Bake gives it a caramelized flavor I don't like in my pies, so each is own.
Keshonda Baldwin That's the same thing I was thinkin the nutrients was gone after the sugar LOL it's a SWEET potato pie not a healthy one💁🏾♀️
I know this is an older video but I’m so glad it’s here I’m making this tomorrow night!
I hope you enjoy ☺️
Hell Yeah... I m from germany and a great country Musik Fan. Heared a song called "Song of the south" and there is a sweet potatoe pie they sing about. Well we also have sweet potatoes here but we just use it salty, never thought about put them into something sweet. So i searched for a recipe, found yours and did a s p p. Soooo good. One of the best dishes i ever had in my live!
This is her pie, she makes it any way she wants.
Omg this look so delicious!
7277651013
Love the recipe. Here's a suggestion. I bake my sweet potatoes because boiling only takes out the sweet in. Baking them gives it all natural flavors...
u can tell she found them online
Thank you! Nice plain and simple! Im going to try it
Looks good but this is the first spp video that I watched that did not use a lil vanilla extract....still a great looking pie tho. :-)
She did use it. The bottle is sitting right there at 2:29. She just didn't show herself using it.I don't know why!
Excellent. Delicious outcome!
Your hands are so pretty...and I always use Vanilla in my sweet potato pie..just a bit..
I was thinking the same thing. She has HSN hands. That's the home shopping network for the slow section. Pie looks good!
Naturally she has beautiful silky youthful hands that's the gorgeous thing about having natural melanated skin where you don't have to go for a suntan when you have natural melanated skin it always has a beautiful youthful glow that is wonderful she is beautiful nice done Nails that's how you should be but then you got some idiots on here that they can't find nothing good to say about this young lady but add criticism as if somebody really gives a damn but I'm so glad this is so young good sister that brought a nice idea that people can incorporate and add or subtract whatever they like in terms of ingredients Because that's what it's all about !!😎🍘🍿🥗🍦🍵🍶🍾🍷🍸🍹☕️🍫🍧🍨🍪🎂🍰🍬🍮🍼🍼
