SWEET POTATO SOUFFLES
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.

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.

Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm and unblemished sweet potatoes with smooth skin.
- Prick the sweet potatoes before baking: This helps the steam to escape and prevents the potatoes from bursting.
- Bake the sweet potatoes until they are tender: This usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour.
- Let the sweet potatoes cool slightly before handling them: This will help to prevent them from breaking apart.
- Use a food processor or blender to puree the sweet potatoes: This will give them a smooth and creamy texture.
- Add your desired flavorings and spices: This could include brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, or vanilla extract.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form: This will help to give the souffles a light and airy texture.
- Fold the beaten egg whites into the sweet potato mixture: This should be done gently to avoid deflating the egg whites.
- Pour the souffle mixture into individual ramekins or a large baking dish:
- Bake the souffles until they are puffed and golden brown: This usually takes about 20 minutes.
- Serve the souffles immediately: They are best enjoyed when they are warm and fluffy.
