White Potato Pie

White Potato Pie


2 potatoes - peeled, boiled and mashed
2/3 cup butter or margarine
1 cup white sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream*
1/2 cup milk
2 tsp lemon zest
2 tblsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 eggs, beaten
2 (9 inch) unbaked pie shells

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix sugar, baking powder and salt.
Add potatoes and butter (or margarine) and mix well. Gradually
add whipping cream and milk, stirring until well blended. Add
beaten eggs and mix well. Pour mixture into pie shells and bake
for 55 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
This pie is best when served cold.

*I have used evaporated milk in place of the whipping cream with
good results.
