Oh my! This looks delicious. I love sweet potatoes because it's sweet. This is not a well-known dish in my country but I'm thinking it's sweet already so why add sugar? Have you ever baked a pie without sugar? Does it taste better? Is the ready-made pie crust as good as the ones you make? Too many questions. 😄
I enjoy pastries and may give this recipe a try IF I can figure out how to make the crust. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration. Thanks for sharing. !PIMP 💕
Hello @kemmyb. Yes, the sweet potato already has natural sugars. In fact, you can eat it raw. However, the taste is plain when boiled in water. Adding a quantity of sugar caramelizes a coating on the potato.
Just like any other pie that you first boil the fruit as in strawberries, peaches, pears, doing so reduces the fruit to a consistency of jam or jellies to bake in the pie shells. And yes, the pie shells taste as good as the homemade ones, if you purchase a name-brand, such as Pillsbury or PET.
Remember, each of the ingredient as baseline. Some like less or more spices. So, the saying is "add to individual taste."
Let me know how your pie turns out. Thanks for your visit and lovely compliment. I appreciate it and your support.
P.S. I made two pies, and my husband has already eaten one of them! Coffee and pie for breakfast. But these are the holidays!

Really! Our specie of potatoes is different. We have two. We can eat them raw and when we boil in water, it tastes just as sweet hence my question as to need to add extra sugar.
Coffee and pie for breakfast! Yum. 😄
Another way you can cook them is to bake them in the oven. Nothing but the sweet potatoe. That's when the taste is sweet and delicious. Just cut them open and scoop the pulp out. Awesome. But I like a bit of butter. Habits are hard to break.
