Homemade Sweet Potato Pie

Classic Southern sweet potato pie made from scratch with a recipe inspired by Ms. DeeDee's mother. Order 9" or 12" pies in Tewksbury, MA.

In Ms. DeeDee's family, sweet potato pie is a must-have on the holiday table, no matter what. This recipe is born from one of her mother's absolute favorites. Melvina, known to family as Nana, is one of the generations of New Orleans cooks whose recipes still fill their hearts, and their bellies. Real sweet potatoes are whipped into a silky custard with warm spices and a hint of vanilla, then baked in a golden, buttery homemade crust. It's simple, soulful, and tastes like home. The 9-inch pie serves about 8 and the 12-inch serves about 12, and it suits Thanksgiving, Christmas, Juneteenth, family reunions, and any table where people gather to share love and good food.
