Recreated Maryland White Potato Pie

This pie is a Chesapeake tradition dating back to Colonial times. It is a bright pie with a healthy helping of sweetness and a citrus zest.

2 large potatoes, cooked and mashed
2/3 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup milk
4 eggs beaten
4 lemons for juice and zest
1 12 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 9 inch pi crust

Combine potatoes, butter, sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix well.
Slowly add whipping cream and milk stirring until smooth.
Add lemon juice, zest, vanilla, nutmeg and eggs. Mix well.
Pour into pie crust and bake at 350 degrees for 55 minutes. Top with thinly sliced lemon slices.

From spicy to sweet, Maryland food has it all. The origins of the White Potato Pie are murky, with some recipes noting that it was a poor man’s dessert...

Hmm, white taters cooked into a dessert? Not tasted anything like that here in Kansas, but I'd try it once...
