Ruths Chris Sweet Potato Casserole

Original Recipe

Prep Time:  20 minutes
Total Time:  60 minutes
Serves 10-12

I absolutely love the sweet potatoes at Ruths Chris and I was determined to figure out the recipe and make them myself.  After several tries, this recipe is pretty darn close.   If you like pecan pie, you MUST make these!




Ingredients:
3 cups peeled, mashed, cooked sweet potatoes
1/3 cup half and half or heavy cream
3 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons dark corn syrup
3/4 cup light brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup pecans, finely crushed

In a medium bowl, mix together eggs, light and dark corn syrups, brown sugar, butter, salt and finely crushed pecans.  Add to cooked sweet potatoes.  Place hand-mixer on medium  and slowly add cream until thoroughly mixed and creamy.

Spoon into 8-in. baking dish, lightly coated with butter.

Topping:

¼ cup brown sugar
¼ flour
2 T. chilled butter
1/3 cup toasted, chopped pecans

Place topping on potato mixture and cook at 350 for 30 min.
