2 hours
  1. 1

    Cook sweet potato (boil or microwave) until done. Let cool and peel.

    Combine dry ingredients of dough and butter in a food processor and mix until it resembles large crumbs.

  3. 3

    In a medium bowl beat egg, extract, zest and vodka.

  4. 4

    Add egg mixture to dry ingredients and form a ball. Slightly flatten and wrap in plastic. Let rest for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

  5. 5

    Heat oven to 350F. Grease a 10-inch pie pan.

  6. 6

    Break apart sweet potato in a bowl, removing fibrous strings.

  7. 7

    Add butter and mix well. Stir in rest of ingredients and beat at medium speed until smooth.

  8. 8

    Roll dough on a floured surface. Put on pie pan. With the extra dough make simple, delicious cookies by baking them for 10 minutes.

  10. 10

    Bake at 350F for 55/60 minutes on center rack until cake tester inserted in the middle comes out clean. Pie will puff like a soufflé but then it will deflate as it cools. Accompany with sweetened whipped cream like Chantilly cream.
