Prick each potato with a fork - Individually wrap each sweet potato in foil. Place in oven - Bake for 50-60mins.
While potato’s are baking, brown your butter. On medium heat, place butter in a light colored pan (so that you can see the butter as it browns)
Constantly stir while butter is melting. You will begin to see the color change as well as foam. The entire process takes 5-7 minutes. The butter will start to smell nutty & bold.
Pour the butter into a bowl and let it cool - be sure to remove all brown butter residue from pan - every brown bit will be going into your pie.
Peel the skin off of each potato. Remove dark black spots and fibrous strings/ stringy ends (I spend at-least 5 mins doing this — there is nothing worse than stringy pieces in your pie)
In a large bowl, mash your sweet pot then On medium level, use a hand mixer to continue smoothing the potatoes.
Add all ingredients to the bowl except for the eggs and the flour. Mix on medium/high level to a smooth consistency. Add eggs and flour.
Once added, you should no longer use the hand mixer. Use a spatula to mix in the eggs and the flour thoroughly.
Taste test …Once the flavors are flavoring, let the filling sit for 20 mins.
Pour filling in to the crust, bake for 50-60 mins or until the middle of pie no longer jiggles. Pie should have a nice golden orange color. Let pie rest for at-least 1 hour
You just made the best Sweet Potato Pie ever!
Enjoy the Flavors!
