Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Pulse flour, rosemary, salt, and pepper together in a food processor until evenly mixed; add cold butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Drizzle cold water into mixture and pulse until dough comes together. Transfer dough to a bowl and refrigerate, 1 hour to 2 days.

Step 3

Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 50 minutes. Drain and run cold water over sweet potatoes; carefully remove peels.

Step 4

Stir milk and olive oil together in a bowl.

Step 5

Beat sweet potato and softened butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth. Stir milk-olive oil mixture, eggs, Parmesan cheese, and garlic into sweet potato mixture until smooth; season with salt and pepper.

Step 6

Roll dough on a floured surface using a rolling pin. Roll dough around rolling pin and press in a pie dish, trimming edges. Pour sweet potato filling into crust.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the middle of the filling comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Cool pie about 5 minutes before serving.
