Yam Souffle Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and pecans. Simmer for 3 minutes. Meanwhile, place drained yams in a large bowl and mash finely with a potato masher (leaving some chunked pieces). Pour sugar/pecan mixture over yams. Stir until combined thoroughly. Add in cinnamon and nutmeg. Transfer to a metal pie pan. Top with marshmallow topping. Bake for 15 minutes at 325 degrees F. Remove from the oven and raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Bake for an additional 10 minutes at 400 degrees F to brown the top, watching carefully to keep from over-browning.

Steps:

• For the souffle: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 2 1/2-quart baking dish with butter.
• Poke the sweet potatoes with a fork and bake on a foil-covered baking sheet until they are soft, 1 hour. When cool enough to handle, peel the potatoes, place the flesh in a large mixing bowl and mash until very smooth. Add the eggs, sugar, butter, vanilla, milk and salt. Combine well with an electric mixer or hand mixer. Turn the mixture into the baking dish.
• For the topping: In a medium bowl, stir together the pecans, brown sugar, flour and butter until thoroughly combined. Spoon the mixture over the sweet potatoes, making an even layer. Bake the casserole until slightly browned, 40 minutes. Let the casserole sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Boil the potatoes in water with 1 teaspoon of salt until tender. Drain the potatoes and cool to room temperature. Process the potatoes with remaining ingredients in a blender and pour into a greased 9 by 13-inch casserole pan.
• Bake in the oven for 1 hour or until set and lightly browned.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• In a large pot, cover the sweet potatoes with water and bring to a boil. Boil until tender.
• Drain and peel the potatoes and place in a large mixing bowl.
• Mash well.
• Add the butter, milk, sherry, brown sugar, orange juice, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon and salt.
• Beat well with a mixer.
• Spoon mixture into a buttered, ovenproof gratin dish.
• Bake until the potatoes are hot, about 25 minutes.
• While the soufflé is cooking, make the meringue.
• In a clean bowl, whip egg whites until almost stiff.
• Gradually add the sugar and continue to beat until soft peaks form.
• During the last five minutes of cooking the soufflé, top with the meringue mixture making fancy peaks.
• Return to oven and remove when the meringue is lightly browned.
• Garnish with the sliced oranges.
