Decadent Sweet Potato Pie-Food Network

Excellent video. I love the twist he used "graham cracker crust"....One of the many pleasures of being a chef or great cook. : ) I've always made mine with the traditional buttery crust...but I'd love to try this. Excellent job!!!!

I was born and raised on sweet potatoes and more importantly sweet potato pie, so I always knew there was a difference between yams and sweet potatoes.

BTW Real sweet potato pie is made with reg. pie crust.

[samuelgordonelliott]

Oh no! You wrapped them in aluminum foil? You NEVER do that! The natural sugars don't carmelize! You cook them naked skin on, the skin will protect the meat of the sweet pot and the result will be much sweeter and you won't have to use so much sugar.

[vivalulious]

dont like this one..yuck !!

[elielsillo2]

i am going to try this for thanksgiving wish me good luck lol

[foodparadisetv]

Love your vid! Look at you. That's really amazing! Let's stay in touch. Let's stay in touch! Check me out sometimes too!

I wonder how many pieces of egg shell did each of his guest get to crunch on! Any good cook, and he's a chef (?) would know not to crack eggs on the inside of bowl! Actually , each eggs should have been broken separately in another bowl, just to make sure they were good before adding them to the sweet potatoes!

[renagadeprdgy]

@puddingpan1 Cracking them on a flat surface also prevents egg shells in your food.

[coconessfox]

[wifeoftheprez]

[pickstar1494]

why do chefs make everything look easy

[wanderingivie]

...maybe I just think this because I can't stand the smell of lavender, but sweet potatoes taste NOTHING like lavender. Blegh.

Also, the difference between Sweet Potatoes and Yams is largely arbitrary. Until fairly recently, "yam" was an alternative term for sweet potatoes, because "potato" had a stigma to it (it was a poor person's food, and they're kinda ugly).

Then we noticed that there were genetically different strains, and re-titled one as the yam and the other as the sweet potato.

[xxxhannahxzx]

[SHANKY762003]

Is baking the potato better than boiling because thats what my family has done for years is boiling.

[mrwhatever213]

@SHANKY762003 Boiling is the real southern way to do it. and that's how the Africans did it as well.

[SHANKY762003]

@mrwhatever213 Thanks, I thought I was missing out on something new.

[graypaint]

im guessing this guy was on food network a long long time ago? cause i dont recognize him at all..

[samsonantor]

i wanna make that pie now so i can punch graham crackers...u get to make a pie and exercise xD

[luvtwinkie1993]

I love roasting white sweet potatoes, and love using the orange sweet potato for pie ^^

[waj437wa]

I tried the graham cracker crust, and really enjoyed it ! I even liked using brown sugar better. Though I use sweet and condensed milk when I make my sweet potato pies. Very tasty !!!

Thanks

[alexamasan]

hmm, how long are you suppose to keep the sweet potatoes in the oven for?

[booyum26]

usually about an hour or  until soft to the touch

[v0zbox]

In a way I feel that a graham cracker crust suits sweet potato pie better than a traditional pie crust would. Maybe it's because I associate graham crackers with s'mores, hence marshmallows, and since sweet potato casserole is traditionally prepared with marshmallows, it has a general fondness for s'mores. I'm not about to add chocolate to a sweet potato pie, though :)

[renagadeprdgy]

@v0zbox Real sweet potato pie aren't made with marshmallows, but they are made with traditional pie crust.

[AngieeBabyy81]

Wow, a cute funny guy that can cook. You don't see that everyday.

[Kamohawk22]

@AngieeBabyy81 hes gay

[blugreen123]

a lot of people that say they don't like piecrust just haven't had a good one. a good one is a thing of beauty

[tinkygarden1878]

Since I am not a big fan of traditional pie crust, the graham cracker crust is perfect for me.

[avatarluva21]

I love the way he made that crust. looks very good

[missmorgan04]

Hey, I didn't know there was a difference b/t yams and sweet potatoes. I thought it was the same thing with a different name! Thanks for the tip!!

[sh97]

The foundation to an excellent pie is a perfectly crafted pie dough. Maybe I'm a snob for thinking that :P

[sh97]

I was excited until he mentioned graham cracker crust. We're not making cheesecake...

[hollylee12]

Two words...Alton Brown.

[houchi69]

my god, Thank you Dave!

he is probably the first person on "Foodnetwork" that actually knows the difference between yam and sweet potato...

funny you will think that all these "food experts" on foodnetwork supposed to know food well...

[moonlightkitty2]

I think he could have made it a bit sweeter, but it's okay.

[RedLight00]

1:52 haha, nice uncomfortable chuckle.

[bush4019]

that was 3 tablespoons of flour not teaspoons! for a pro he sure cant tell the difference

[CrazyPerson508]

what a great stress reliever with the crackers xD

[scottishrosette]

I actually tried this recipe today for Thanksgiving. It was good, but could have used a little more sweetness in the batter. Maybe more brown sugar and vanilla?

[Lakishia]

mmm mmm mmm!

[ALiiSHAAX0O]

It is a marshmallow world in the winter, yes it is. It is delicious like fuge covered pie potato

[lisenique]

[Pgooby]

[babyhomer]

Haven't seen Mr. Leiberman for awhile. Excellent speaker, very informative and makes me want to go bake a sweet potato pie.

Thank you!
