Sweet potato pie with feta cheese et al.

We looooove sweet potatoes. When we make and eat burgers, we always end up making oven fries, half "regular" half sweet: it is just too good. I had the idea for this recipe during one of my weeks of vacations this summer: André was attending a conference and I tagged along. The food was very good and plentiful and this is one of the thing we really enjoyed, so I felt I had to try to reproduce it. This would serve 6 people.

Prepare a pie crust, with your own magical recipe or this one. Warm your oven to 180 C.

While the dough is in the fridge,  peel and cube 350g of sweet potatoes. Cook using your favorite method (see note at the bottom). Finely chop and fry one medium-large onion until golden. Cube 100g of feta cheese (we use this "brine" cheese that is similar). Once cooked, mix together the onion, and the potatoes, add the feta and a couple of tablespoons of fresh parsley (add less if dry).

Roll the dough and put it in a pie form. Spread the onion/potatoes/cheese mix in. Break 4 eggs in a bowl and whisk a little with a fork, add 150ml of milk (or cream if you feel you can handle) and pour the mix in in the pie form. Grate a couple of tablespoon (I use "couple" in the large sense to mean 3-4 ;) of parmesan on the top and add 2 tablespoons of pine nuts.

Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden. Enjoy!

*** Note: Although our Italian friends might think we are crazy, we use the microwave... a lot. This recipe is no exception.
