Traditional side dish in the southern United States

About this dish

Sweet potato pie is a traditional dessert pie originating in the Southern United States. It is often served during the American holiday season, especially at Thanksgiving and Christmas, in place of pumpkin pie, which is more traditional in other regions of the United States. It is made in an open pie shell without a top crust. The filling consists of mashed sweet potatoes, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, and spices such as cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. The baked vegetal custard filling may vary from light and silky to dense, depending on the recipe's ratio of sweet potato, milk and eggs.
