White Potato Pie

WHITE POTATO PIE

From "Soul Food Recipes Learned On A North Carolina
Tobacco Farm" by Willie Crawford

If your kids have a sweet tooth like mine do, here is a way to spice up the venerable white potato. This dish taste best served cold. Cold white potatoes.... sure.

Ingredients:
3 large potatoes
1 cup butter (2 sticks) (melted)
1 1/2 cup white sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 eggs (lightly beaten)
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 (9-inch) pie shells

Preparation:
1. Boil potatoes until completely done. Allow to cool, then peel and mash using potato masher. You can also "mash" them using a blender or food processor. Just do a little at a time if you don't have heavy-duty appliances. Otherwise, you're likely to burn out a motor. You want the potatoes well done because this allows you to mash them easier, and you don't end up with lots of lumps in your mixture.
2. In another mixing bowl, combine sugar, salt, and baking powder.
3. Slowly stir in mashed potatoes.
4. Stir in butter.
5. Add whipping cream, lemon juice, vanilla flavoring, and nutmeg, one at a time... mixing thoroughly after adding each ingredient
6. Stir in eggs.
7. Pour 1/2 of mixture into each pie shell
8. Bake in oven preheated to 350 degrees for 1 hour.
Test for doneness with toothpick. Toothpick inserted in center of pie should come out clean.
