Step-by-Step Instructions
Making Grandma’s sweet potato pie is a simple yet delightful process. First, I begin by preheating my oven to 350°F (175°C). While it warms up, I peel and chop my sweet potatoes, then boil them in water until they’re tender (about 15-20 minutes). Once they’re soft, I drain the water and mash them until smooth—this is where the lovely sweet aroma starts filling my kitchen! I always make sure there are no lumps for that luxurious filling.
