He sat in the kitchen with his mother as she baked and waited for her
to let him lick the remaining batter from the mixing bowl. He had only
a vague idea of ingredients and measurements of his mother's sweet
potato pie, his interest as a child was the final product; a delicious
pie. There was never a written recipe for this special family treat.
Fridge's mother, like her mother before her, baked her pies using a
coffee cup instead of a measuring cup, adding ingredients by memory and
taste. When his mother, father and three siblings died in an auto
accident, the then 18-year-old Fridge was more focused on surviving and
helping his remaining eight brothers and sisters than preserving family
recipes and traditions.
After many years of combining different
ingredients and spices, Fridge was able to reconstruct his mother's
sweet potato pie. It was first introduced to family and friends during
the holidays. It then made it's first public appearance at David
Howard's fish and seafood restaurant in Minneapolis in 1991. The pies
made their second appearance at the Bill & Jerry's Shrimp Boil, an
annual local and national event. They were a hit and the demand for
them grew.
In October of 2004, William Fridge decided to go into
business making his mother's sweet potato pies for the masses and
formed Addie's Sweet Secrets, L.L.C. in honor of his mother. The
signature and staple of the company is his Addie's 'down-home' sweet
potato pie, as remembered by her son.
It has taken years for
Fridge to perfect his mother's recipe, but he did it. This sweet
potato pie is unlike any other pie you have ever tasted. Order yours
today and taste for yourself.
