PRESENTATION

Golden color and gently spiced aroma make Southern sweet potato pie a real treat when shared with friends or for a cozy family night at home. Rich texture and naturally sweet flavor from those baked sweet potatoes combine with familiar cinnamon and allspice, filling the kitchen with a smell everyone recognizes as REAL comfort food. While this favorite from southern cuisine always feels special around the holidays—especially Thanksgiving—families reach for it all through autumn and even into winter just to bring a smile to the table. Soft, velvety filling sits inside a flaky potato pie crust, making a contrast that’s nice and moist in each bite…kids and grandparents alike agree it’s DELICIOUS, and that hint of earthiness under the sweetness just makes every slice extra satisfying. Nice to look at, and even better to EAT, this classic pie appeals to nearly everyone’s tastes, instantly bringing back memories from years past (while still feeling fresh and new for newer family traditions).

Home cooks rely on this southern sweet potato pie for easy, crowd-pleasing desserts that taste just right with whipped cream or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream (try it—really good on warm pie). Since it travels well and holds up for a next-day snack, every bite stays soft and flavorful, making it great for lunchboxes or as a sweet treat after dinner. Versatility really shines since it works for special occasions, everyday meals, and, honestly, anytime someone is craving classic Southern pie flavor—kids love it for the naturally sweet taste, while busy families appreciate reliable results every single time. Whether used as a family recipe year after year or enjoyed as a little twist on tradition by swapping in nutmeg or your own favorite toppings, this is a winner across the board. The Irish potato pie twist also lets families explore both American and Irish kitchens, bringing even more diversity to the table, which is AWESOME for food lovers who want classic comfort and new flavors in the same slice.

How to prepare Potato Pie

To prepare the potato pie, first finely chop the rosemary with a knife 1 and set aside. Then peel the potatoes 2 and use a mandoline to slice them about 1/8 inch thick 3.

Then season them with salt 4, pepper, oil 5, and the chopped rosemary. Mix well 6, so that the seasoning is distributed over all the slices 6.

Grate the provola cheese with a large-hole grater 7 and set aside. At the bottom of a 10x4 inch baking dish, pour a drizzle of oil and arrange the potato slices to form a first layer 8 9.

Cover the surface with the grated provola cheese 10, then add the grated cheese 11 and a sprinkle of pepper 12. Continue until the ingredients are used up; you should end up with 6 layers of potatoes.

Season the last layer with oil 13, cover first with a sheet of parchment paper 14 and then with a sheet of aluminum foil 15. Bake in a static oven at 428°F for 70 minutes.

After this time, check if the potatoes are cooked, then add the provola 16 and Parmesan 17 on top. Finish cooking at the same temperature in grill mode for 5-8 minutes. The potato pie is ready to be served 18.

Storage

The potato pie can be stored in the refrigerator in a closed container for 2-3 days.

Advice

For a richer and more colorful variant, you can add layers of vegetables between the potato slices. Zucchini, eggplants, sautéed mushrooms are all great options. For a heartier version, you can add between the potato layers: slices of cooked ham, speck, or smoked bacon.
