A couple people mentioned on the What to serve for Christmas? thread that they make sweet potato souffle.

Please, please post a recipe. It sounds very good.

I usually just cook them (and yams) with butter and brown sugar.

This is the one I use, it's out of the Southern Sideboards cookbook.

Sweet Potato Custard Pie-----My husband say if you eat it warm it's considered a veggie, lol

1 small sweet potato peeled, boiled and mashed with 1/2 cup butter.

Beat in 1 1/2 cups of sugar, 1 TBSp sifted flour, 1 tsp each vanilla and lemon extract.

Add 3 eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each.

Beat in 1 5-ounce can of evaporated milk.

Pour filling into a 9 inch deep dish pie shell

Bake at 350* for 45 minutes or until set.


I top it with marshmallow cream or mini mashmallow and slide it back in the oven for about 5minutes to brown.

ETA---I have also poured it into individual rammakins as a side dish

I have a butternut squash souffle where you could probably substitute sweet potatoes- even those who don't like squash come back for more---

Butternut Squash Souffle

abt 2 lbs butternut squash -
1/2 - 3/4 lb american cheese in a chunk
6 slices fresh bread ( I use white )
2 eggs
1 stick butter

1 -fork squash, bake on tinfoil at 350 degrees for abt an hour, cut open - seed & scoop out squash - place in mixer & beat
2 - add 2 eggs & continue to beat
3 - melt butter & add- beat
3 - Grate bread & cheese -fold in with squash
Place in greased dish & cook @ 350 degrees for 45 minutes or so until puffed & slightly browned on top
Enjoy!
