Sweet Potato Pie
We prefer a southern sweet potato pie over a traditional pumpkin pie. Perhaps it is because the sweet potato pie does not have all the added spice. This pie is sweet, more dense, and less custardy than a pumpkin pie. You can make the potatoes ahead of time which is a great meal prep.
