SWEET POTATO SOUFFLES



Sweet Potato Souffles image

It's a universal fact that people love puffy food, souffles being one of most versatile. As long as you don't knock all the air out of the egg whites in the batter, not much can actually go wrong. Since mashed sweet potato is the base, these souffles are even easier than the traditional method that requires a saucy base. They'll deflate quickly after exiting the oven, so hurry and snap those photos! Serve with cayenne-seasoned maple syrup if you like.

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Sweet Potatoes

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 orange-fleshed sweet potatoes
4 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons butter, at room temperature
¼ cup milk
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper
4 fried sage leaves

Steps:

  • Place sweet potatoes on a microwave-safe plate. Prick sweet potatoes with the tip of a knife. Microwave until very soft, about 10 minutes. Let cool briefly until safe to handle.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Halve sweet potatoes and scoop flesh out into a bowl.
  • Separate egg whites and yolks into individual mixing bowls. Generously butter four 5-ounce ramekins.
  • Transfer 1 cup mashed sweet potato to the bowl of egg yolks. Pour in milk. Season with salt and cayenne. Whisk until smooth, slowly at first and faster once mixture starts to come together.
  • Add a pinch of salt to the egg whites. Beat with a clean whisk until peaks are well-defined but still soft. Transfer 1/2 of the egg whites to the sweet potato mixture. Fold in with a spatula somewhat gently until most of the white streaks disappear. Add the remaining egg whites and fold in very gently, turning the bowl and scraping the sides, until whites are mostly blended in; a few streaks should still be visible.
  • Gently spoon sweet potato mixture into the ramekins.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until fully inflated and browned, about 15 minutes. Garnish with sage. Unmold or serve in ramekins.

Sweet Potato and Gruyère Soufflé image

Categories     Cheese     Egg     Side     Bake     Vegetarian     Sweet Potato/Yam     Fall     Gourmet

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 large garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 cup coarsely grated Gruyère (about 3 ounces)
2 cups mashed cooked sweet potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds)
4 large eggs, separated

Steps:

  • Butter a 1 1/2-quart soufflé dish and dust it with 1/4 cup of the Parmesan. In a large heavy saucepan cook the onion and the garlic with salt and pepper to taste in the butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until the onion is softened, stir in the flour, and cook the roux, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the milk in a stream, whisking, and simmer the mixture, whisking, until it is thickened. Remove the pan from the heat, whisk in the Gruyère, whisking until the cheese is melted, and whisk in the sweet potatoes and the egg yolks, 1 at a time. In a bowl with an electric mixer beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they just hold stiff peaks, whisk one fourth of them into the sweet potato mixture to lighten it, and fold in the remaining whites gently but thoroughly. Pour the mixture into the prepared soufflé dish, sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan over it, and bake the soufflé in the middle of a preheated 375°F. oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until it is puffed and golden. Serve the soufflé immediately.

Tips:

- For a crispy crust, use a mixture of melted butter and crushed crackers or bread crumbs. - Grating the potatoes finely will help them cook evenly. - Add flavorings such as nutmeg, cinnamon, or vanilla to the sweet potato mixture. - Bake the souffle until it is puffed and golden brown. - Serve the souffle immediately with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.
