Sweet Potato Custard

Are you team Pumpkin, or team Sweet Potato? I love both, but for different reasons. I like the convenience of canned pumpkin. I also like, that pumpkin is lower in calories. However, I prefer the taste, and texture of sweet potato. Another advantage, of sweet potato, is that it's readily available. Canned or fresh. You never hear of a sweet potato shortage. 

I'm going to share with you, my Sweet Potato Custard. This can also be used as a filling, for Sweet Potato Pie. If you are baking a pie, always pre bake the crust, so you will have the perfect pie. 

A few tips, for this custard: 

Bake the sweet potatoes, in a light coating of cooking oil. Cut vent slits. Then wrap in foil. The oil will make the skin slip right off. Baking yields soft sweet potatoes.

Process the potatoes, to a smooth consistency, using a food mill. If you don't have a food mill, press the baked sweet potatoes through a sieve.

Notice how smooth the custards look. That is because they were processed, using a food mill. They baked up beautifully!
