Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, consider using a food processor to grate the sweet potatoes. If you're looking to reduce sugar, you can substitute half of it with mashed bananas or applesauce. Adding a pinch of cinnamon along with nutmeg enhances the flavor profile. Ensure that the oleo is softened for easy mixing. For a nutty twist, try adding chopped pecans or walnuts into the mixture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use canned sweet potatoes instead of grated fresh ones?
Yes, you can use canned sweet potatoes, but be sure to drain them well and mash them before adding to the recipe. The texture may differ slightly, but it still will result in a delicious pie.
How can I make this pie dairy-free?
To make this pie dairy-free, substitute the Eagle Brand milk with a non-dairy condensed milk alternative. You can also use almond or oat milk in place of regular milk. Ensure that the oleo is dairy-free as well.
What can I do if the pie doesn't set properly?
If the pie doesn't set, it may need more baking time. Ensure your oven is properly preheated and check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean. You can also bake it longer at a lower temperature to avoid burning the top.
