I have it! I'm looking for it as I speak. It was posted in a Texas newspaper some time ago and I saved it on my computer ... somewhere.

Um, those CAN NOT be the values per serving! 3488 calories and 134 grams of fat!!

Yeah, def not. Especially since, AFAIK, there are no carbs in sweet potatoes, so the 551grams have to come from everything else. . .

No carbs in sweet potatos? What else WOULD be in sweet potatoes? A hint of protein and the rest carbs. Vegetables ARE carbs.

lol, no carbs, that's funny, better carbs than white potatoes maybe, but as another poster mentioned - fruits and vegetables are carbs for the most part

I think you are a bit low on calories and fat. I'd guess that the caloric count is well in excess of 4000 with the fat being in the 200g range. But then I could be wrong. Thanks for the recipe. We're making it for Christmas to go along with our filet w/bernaise and lobster tail dinner. Now we're talking calories!!!

This recipe is absolutely delicious!!! I made this for both Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners and it was a huge hit! My boyfriend and I dine at the Ruth Chris restaurant in Sacramento and always order the Sweet Potato Casserole and this recipe is a dead ringer of the original!!! Thanks so much for passing it on.

If you watch the video of the chef at Rut's Chris demo this dish here:
http://blog.nola.com/dining/2007/11/c...
you'll note that in the video the chef adds 1 stick of melted butter to the crust and 1/3 stick of butter to the sweet potatoes. The printed recipe, propagated on the web has these quantities reversed.

perhaps this is sacrilege considering that everyone seems to be crazy for this recipe - but I bet pumpkin would work very nicely?

No carbs in sweet potatoes! If only it were true.

Any suggestions for substituting the nuts with something else? I've eaten this recipe and it is GREAT, but some in my family despise nuts. The crust definately needs something crunchy, though.

Oats would be my guess. I was thinking granola but many of those contain nuts as well. Whole Foods has a pumpkin granola (with nuts) that would be an interesting substitution.

I think he was thinking of 'lambchops'... :-)

I've never really been into sweet potatos, but Ruth Chris's casserole was UNBELIEVABLE. It was the most delicious one I've ever tried as well as many in our party totally agreed!Thanks for this recipe and hopefully I'll be able to make it for Christmas Dinner.

My husband hates sweet potatoes and wants to now cook this!! LOL It rocked.. after paying a mere 300 for 4 people to have some dinner.. they should have given us the recipe!! HA!

We do a very similar version of that that literally is the first thing gone. We add the juice and the zest of a fresh lemon to the potato mix and then top it with brown sugar, a drizzle of REAL maple syrup, pats of butter and chopped pecans. Almost souffle like. AMAZING. Something with the lemon gives it a little pop and counteracts all that sticky sweetness.
