Roasted sweet potatoes give this Southern-inspired pie exceptional depth. Maple, bourbon and warm spice complement the filling without overwhelming its natural flavor.

Cook’s Tips
Roast rather than boil the potatoes to avoid watery filling. Replace bourbon with orange juice for an alcohol-free pie.
