A simple, rustic pie great for holidays in the autumn and winter! I added a little lemon to give it a bright zing :) My version is not too sweet - I use about 1/2 the amount of sugar as other (American) sweet potato pie recipes. Add up to double more sugar if you really like it sweet! Makes one 8 or 9 inch (22-23 cm) pie.

If you don't have cloves or nutmeg, you can leave it out. Very nice with whip cream...

Steps

120 mins

1

For the homemade pie dough (if you have one already start on Step 4): Put flour and salt (leave out if using salted butter) into a large bowl. Cut butter into small cubes and add to flour. {You can see more detailed recipe for pie dough in my recipe here: https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/198326 }
2

Rub in the butter into the flour until butter is broken up into pea-sized pieces and mixed throughout.
3

Mix in sugar and gradually mix in the cold water until the dough begins to come together. Knead into a ball. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least one hour.
4

To roast potatoes (you can boil too, though I think the taste is nicer if roasted): Preheat oven to 200C/400F. Peel and cut sweet potatoes into cubes. Drizzle with 2 Tbsp vegetable/canola oil.
5

Bake for 40 minutes (turn and mix halfway through so it baked evenly) or until fork tender.
6

Mash with a fork. (After mashing I used 2 cups or 450-500 g)
7

Add sugar, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, lemon juice and vanilla.
8

Mix in yoghurt. Taste again just in case and adjust any seasoning or sweetness. Lastly, mix in the eggs until smooth.
9

Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Roll out pie dough if using homemade one. (Again, see details in my basic pie dough recipe here: https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/198326)
10

When ready to bake, fill the pie crust with the filling.Smooth out - add some pie crust decorations if you like :)
11

Bake for about 1 hour until set. Let cool completely before enjoying.
