I know SO many people who think sweet potato pie is the be all and end all. Since I grow my own sweet potatoes, we don't put them in pie..we just eat them like baked potatoes. They are good enough to eat without any "help" from other ingredients. Pumpkin on the other hand, needs sugar and spices added.... therefore, makes it ideal to be made into pie. We make mince pie and pecan pie many times... always with whipped cream [[None of that fake cool whip shit)
