This sweet kumara pie recipe was originally a cajun dish from New Orleans, which would use american sweet potatoes instead of kumara. In New Zealand, we’re pretty used to kumara being treated as savoury, but this makes a delightfully creamy and sweet dessert that may change your mind about the humble kumara.
