This is a recipe I'm saving from an old cookbook found in my husbands grandparents barn. The book is falling apart and I want to save a few of the recipes so am submitting them here. This sounds interesting with the sweet potatoes. I'm not sure if this truly is a Louisiana dish as the name implies but it sounds delicious.
