Walnuts? I've never heard of walnuts in a traditional sweet potato pie.

4-5 Sweet potatoes (medium)
2 Eggs
1 cup Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1/4 tsp Nutmeg
1/4 tsp Cinamon
1/2 c Butter (melted)
1/2 c Evaporated milk
pinch Salt
1 Unbaked pie crust (homemade or frozen and thawed) for 8" pie

Boil sweet potatoes until soft, peel and beat until smooth.
Add remaining ingredients, beat until creamy.
Pour into pie shell and bake at 350 until crust is lightly browned and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

I f'ing HATE walnuts... Make it Pecans or something like that and I might go for it... Walnuts taste mouldy and slightly bitter IMHO. I've had Sweet Potato pie cooked by an old black woman that my mother had made friends with... I'll actually take it over pumpkin Most days.

Raw walnuts will be bitter, but once they are roasted, baked or exposed to heat in any way the bitterness goes away.

I can't eat raw walnuts, pecans or almonds because of some acidic compound in the oil. I get tons of canker sores in my mouth. Once the nuts are cooked the acids are neutralized and I can eat all I want.

I heard the same about the oils...

I always toast my nuts.....

Still f'ing hate walnuts... I eat whatever I want with no issues. Only thing I'm allergic to is tomato plants... Not the fruit, the plant.

My G'ma making me pick tomatoes out of a roadside farm on a cross country trip. I broke out in hives on my arms for 2 days... She accused me of trying to come up with an excuse to shirk work.
