Top tip

Use a Tart Pan with removable bottom for this recipe. It helps to make sure the tart is cooked all the way through and makes it easy to serve.

Variations

  • Cheese: substitute freshly grated parmesan or cheddar cheese if you do not have Asiago cheese (or use a blend of cheeses).
  • Potatoes: mix in layers of Yukon Gold potatoes or russet potatoes with the sweet potato layers for a more savory tart. Or try our Savory Potato Tart.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Do not freeze.
To reheat: place in a 350° oven for several minutes (until warmed through).

FAQ

Can I use canned sweet potatoes?

We do not recommend using canned sweet potatoes for this recipe as they will be too soft and mushy.

Why is my potato tart soggy?

Tarts become watery or soggy when they are undercooked. We recommend using tart pan with removable bottom and increasing the oven temp if necessary. You can also pre-bake the crust for 10 minutes prior to filling it for better results.

Can I use a pie pan?

Yes. If you do not have a tart pan, use a thin aluminum or glass pie pan. You may have to increase the oven temperature to make sure the tart cooks all the way through.

Can I use a pre-made pie crust?

Absolutely. We generally make this recipe with a pre-made pie crust to save time.
