Gourmet Sweet Potato Souffle image

This is one of my most-requested dishes, and it's perfect for Easter, Thanksgiving, or anytime you need a fancy side dish. It looks much more difficult to make than it is, and guests are always impressed! Even people who don't like sweet potatoes ask for second helpings! I hope you enjoy it too. Maple syrup can be substituted for the vanilla extract.

This souffle is amazing! It's so light and fluffy, and the flavor is incredible. I love the addition of the cinnamon and nutmeg. This is definitely a new favorite recipe.

This was okay. I thought the flavor was a bit too sweet for my taste. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This was a disaster. The souffle didn't rise at all and it was more like a sweet potato pancake. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This is my go-to recipe for sweet potato souffle. It's always a hit with my family and friends. I love that it's so easy to make, and it always turns out perfect. I usually serve it with a maple syrup glaze.

Not bad, but not great. I thought the flavor was a bit bland. I might try adding some more spices next time.

Delicious! I made this for a brunch party and it was a huge hit. Everyone raved about it. I used a combination of sweet potatoes and regular potatoes, and I added a bit of chopped ham to the filling. It turned out perfect.

This was a bit of a disappointment. The souffle didn't rise very much and it was a bit dry. I think I might have overcooked it. I'll try it again and see if I can get it right next time.

Meh. Not a fan. I followed the recipe exactly and it just didn't come out right. The texture was weird and the flavor was bland. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This was absolutely delicious! I made it for a dinner party and everyone loved it. I used Yukon Gold potatoes instead of sweet potatoes because that's what I had on hand, and it turned out great. I also added a bit of chopped bacon to the filling for
