Can I use canned sweet potatoes?

Oh honey, I get this one all the time. While fresh sweet potatoes give the absolute best flavor and texture, yes - you can use canned in a pinch. Just drain them well and mash thoroughly. But listen closely: don't use candied yams (those syrup-packed ones). They'll make your pie way too sweet and the texture all wrong.

How do I prevent cracks?

Don't panic if you see small cracks - they're totally normal. But to minimize them, here's my trick: don't overbake . Take the pie out when the center still has a slight jiggle (it'll set as it cools). Also, let it cool gradually - no sudden temperature changes. I sometimes place mine on a cooling rack with a kitchen towel draped loosely over top.

Can I freeze leftovers?

Absolutely, Wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap, then foil, and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then warm gently in the oven. Though between you and me - leftovers rarely last that long in my house.
