Directions
Prepare pie crust and set aside.
Pre-heat oven to 375℉ (190℃).
Wash and scrub potatoes.
Place in a baking pan, brush skins with some olive oil and bake for 1½ hours until very soft.
Cool and then peel.
Mash and add the rest of the ingredients.
Blend until the mixture has a creamy consistency.
Reduce oven to 350℉ (180℃).
Spoon mixture into pie crust.
Garnish with walnuts.
Bake for 1 hour.
Chill or cool to room temperature before serving.
Variation:
Add 1 to 2 cups cooked chick peas to the sweet potato before cooking the pie.
Ensure they are well mashed.
