Spiced Carrot Pie
"Ready, Set, Cook! Special Edition Contest Entry: This from scratch sweet pie can be served as a side to dinner or stands by itself as a dessert. I wanted to create a crust from potatoes and fill it with something unique. This is where the idea began. I added some goat cheese to the crust in order to make it more rich and Zante currants to the carrot filling for texture. With a little whipped topping it is a great accompaniment to any dinner."
