For the best Southern Sweet Potato Pie, I bake my potatoes because they are sweeter, better consistency and there’s no water in the potato from boiling. Mom Never Mixed Anything when making these pies she always instructed me to taste until I was satisfied with it.

Notes:
Sweet Potato Pie is best when it has cooled, so wait to serve it.
The best sweet potato pie is made at least a day ahead and chilled. Remove from the fridge at least 30 minutes before serving.
Don’t boil the sweet potatoes or they will take on too much liquid and the filling will be soggy.
