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.

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 crispier crust, use a mixture of sweet potatoes and regular potatoes.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the sweet potatoes by hand.
- Be sure to drain the sweet potatoes thoroughly after grating them. This will help prevent the soufflés from being too watery.
- Season the sweet potatoes generously with salt and pepper. This will help bring out their flavor.
- Add a variety of mix-ins to your soufflés, such as cheese, bacon, ham, or vegetables. This will make them more flavorful and interesting.
- Be careful not to overcook the soufflés. They should be set in the center but still have a slightly runny texture.
- Serve the soufflés immediately, while they are still hot and fluffy.
Conclusion:
Sweet potato soufflés are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you prefer them savory or sweet, there is a sweet potato soufflé recipe out there for everyone.
