This Southern Sweet Potato Pie combines cozy, nostalgic flavor with a surprisingly nutrient-rich base: sweet potatoes are high in vitamins A and C, potassium, and fiber, which support immune health and digestion, while remaining a tasty dessert. This should be enjoyed as an occasional dessert due to the sugar and saturated fat content.
