Sweet potato pie

Sweet potato pie

Originally from the Amerindians, the sweet potato was used exclusively in ethnic recipes. Today it is very much in fashion, and has found its way into European cuisine. It’s true that with its sweetness, it appeals to all ages.

Ideal to incorporate the sweet potato filling if you made our baked sweet potatoes stuffed with eggs.

Columbus tip

To save time, you can cook the sweet potatoes in the microwave while the oven is heating. Punch some holes in the potatoes and place them in a bowl with a little water. Leave them to cook in the microwave for about 10 minutes, turning them over halfway through.
