These days (for the filling) instead of boiling whole sweet potatoes, I wash, peel, and chop the sweet potatoes in cubes. I also like a nice flaky crust, and the combination of shortening and buttery always result in having a buttery flaky pie crust. I love a nice buttery crust when it comes to my sweet potato pies, so that’s why I use real butter. This time it will be more flavorful! I added more sugar, a combination of butter & butter flavored shortening. I changed my pie crust recipe up for old fashioned sweet potato pie.

Which one is my favorite? I would have to go with the recipe that I shared back in 2012.
