Sylvias Sweet Potato Souffle Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 2-quart casserole dish and set aside.
• Add the potatoes to a large pot of cold, salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain in a colander in the sink.
• Mash the potatoes in a large bowl. Add the evaporated milk, brown sugar, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, beaten eggs, salt and pepper, to taste. Mix together until smooth. Pour the mixture into the casserole dish and bake for 25 minutes.
• In a small bowl, toss together the cashews, marshmallows, and coconut. Remove the casserole dish from oven and top with the cashew mixture. Bake until the marshmallows are lightly toasted, about 5 to 10 more minutes. Remove the casserole from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Mix first seven ingredients together.
• Pour into greased 2 quart casserole dish.
• Bake at 375°F for 30 minutes.
• TOPPING.
• Combine sugar, flour, margarine and pecans.
• Spoon over top of hot casserole.
• Sprinkle marshmallows on top of everything.
• Bake an additional 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Prick the sweet potatoes and place in a baking dish. Put in oven and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until soft. Remove from oven, slice in half and scoop flesh into a bowl. Using a wire whisk or electric mixer, whip until smooth. Measure 1 3/4 cups. Reserve any remaining potatoes for another use.
• Lower oven temperature to 350 degrees.
• In a bowl blend the sweet potatoes and cream. Add the egg yolks, nutmeg and brown sugar, mixing well. Fold in the beaten egg whites.
• Place the mixture in a buttered 1-quart souffle or baking dish and place in a preheated 350 degree oven. Bake for 35 to 40, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Steps:

• Mix mashed sweet potatoes, eggs, ⅓ stick of butter, sugar, milk, and vanilla on the stovetop on medium heat.
• Transfer to a shallow baking dish.
• Melt brown sugar and ⅓ stick of butter on the stovetop.
• Mix in flour and pecans, stirring constantly.
• Evenly layer mixture on top of sweet potatoes.
• Bake at 350'F for 1 hour.
• Layer preferred amount of mini marshmallows on top (I prefer to blanket the sweet potatoes with mini marshmallows).
• Bake until marshmallows are lightly browned (about 5 minutes, watch closely).

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:

• Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Scrub the sweet potatoes and pierce in several places with a sharp knife. Line a baking sheet with foil and place the potatoes on top. Bake for 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the potatoes, until thoroughly soft and beginning to ooze. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• Adjust the rack to the lower third of the oven and turn the oven down to 400ºF. Rub the inside of a 2-quart soufflé dish or six 1- or 1 1/2-cup soufflé dishes with butter and dust with 2 tablespoons of the sugar, tilting the dish to coat evenly.
• Peel the potatoes and puree in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Add the honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, ginger, yogurt, and lime juice and mix together well.
• Begin beating the egg whites at medium speed in a standing mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or with an electric beater. When they begin to foam, add the cream of tartar. When soft peaks begin to form, slowly add the remaining tablespoon of sugar while beating and continue to beat until the egg whites form stiff but not dry peaks. Stir one fourth into the sweet potatoes, and gently fold in the remainder. Scrape into the soufflé dish (or dishes). Place on a baking sheet and bake a large soufflé for 20 to 25 minutes, small soufflés for 15 minutes, or until puffed and just beginning to brown. Serve at once. The soufflé should be runny on the inside.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. Butter four 3/4-cup ramekins; set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat.
• Add onion, garlic, and thyme; season with salt and pepper.
• Cook, stirring often, until onion is softened, about 8 minutes.
• Stir in flour; cook, stirring, 3 minutes.
• Gradually whisk in milk; simmer, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 2 minutes.
• Remove from heat, and stir in 1/2 cup cheese and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Whisk in sweet-potato puree, then egg yolks, one at a time.
• In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
• Whisk 1/4 of whites into cheese mixture.
• Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the rest.
• Place ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Pour mixture into ramekins; sprinkle with remaining cheese.
• Bake until puffed and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
• You can also make this as one large souffle. Bake in a 1 quart dish for 25 to 30 minutes.
