ROSE'S SWEET POTATO PIE

Steps:

• 1. PREHEAT OVEN TO 350 DEGREES F. Beat or mash sweet potatoes until smooth in texture and no visible lumps remain. REMOVE ANY STRINGS that wrap around the beater.
• 2. Add remaining ingredients and beat until well blended. Pour into unbaked pie shell and bake in preheated 350 degree F. oven for 1 hour or until filling is set, and crust is browned. Allow to cool completely before serving.

ROSIE'S SWEET POTATO PIES

Steps:

• Scrub the potatoes and boil them until very tender, about one hour; drain.
• (we roast ours in a 400 degree F oven until soft & the flesh sinks away from the papery skin & let them cool overnight - we find this caramelizes the natural sugars & lets us reduce the sugar in the recipe to 1 1/4 cups).
• When cool enough to handle, peel the potatoes and place in the large bowl of an electric mixer. Add the butter, milk, sugar, nutmeg, vanilla and eggs. Beat until the mixture is smooth. (If the filling is made ahead of time, cover and refrigerate until ready to bake the pies.).
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Pour the filling into the pie shells and bake until crusts are golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, topped with ice cream or sweetened whipped cream, if desired.

DOROTHY'S SWEET POTATO PIE

Steps:

• 1. Wash and peel sweet potatoes. In a large heavy pot add peeled and cubed sweet potatoes and salt. Cook on medium high until potatoes are fork tender. (Do not let them fall apart.) When done drain potatoes in a colander and pour into a large mixing bowl.
• 2. Add butter to hot potatoes and mix until smooth. Add sugar and mix. Add your eggs and blend well. Pour in your milk and continue mixing. Once your mixture is blended well add vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, and allspice. Taste to make sure it is sweet enough for you. You can add more sugar, nutmeg or cinnamon at this time if you would like more. (Some of my customers like their pie very sweet and some not so sweet.)
• 3. Pour into two 9" deep dish pie shells and bake for 1 hour in a 350 degree oven.

SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE ROSES

Steps:

• Slice sweet potatoes thinly (best to use a Mandoline).
• In a bowl, combine unsalted butter, sugar, cinnamon, salt; mix well.
• Pour the mixture over the sliced sweet potatoes; make sure they are all well-coated.
• Place the sliced sweet potatoes in the microwave for approx 20-30 seconds until soft so it rolls easily (add more time in the microwave if needed).
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry.
• Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut dough in half vertically then horizontally creating 1 inch by 5 inch strips.
• Arrange 15-20 sliced sweet potatoes into an straight row overlapping the edges.
• Starting from the first slice you laid down, roll the lined up sweet potatoes forming a rose-looking shape.
• Brush a strip of the pastry with egg wash then wrap it around the base of the sweet potato rose flower.
• Brush butter in a casserole pan.
• Lay two slices of sweet potato on the bottom, creating a base for each rose.
• Add a dollop of marshmallow fluff on top of each sweet potato base.
• Place each rose on the base, the marshmallow fluff acting as an adhesive.
• Bake at 400F for 35-40 minutes or more until the potatoes are baked well.
• After it cools, place mini marshmallows around the roses and top with confectioners' sugar.
