Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes?
Yes, using sweet potatoes will give the pie a richer flavor and a hint of sweetness, making it a delicious variation. Just be sure to adjust the sugar according to your taste preference.
How can I make this recipe vegan?
To make a vegan version, substitute the eggs with flaxseed meal or unsweetened applesauce, and use a plant-based butter alternative. For the pie shell, opt for a vegan pre-made crust or make your own using vegan ingredients.
Is it necessary to peel the potatoes before boiling?
Peeling the potatoes is recommended as it helps create a smoother texture in the pie filling. However, if you prefer a more rustic texture, you can leave the skins on while boiling and mash them together.
