This Sweet Potato Soufflé is one of the most comforting side dishes perfect for the fall season. It is the season of cozy, warm, delicious meals like this mashed sweet potato dish. With a crispy top and a light and fluffy interior, this flavorful souffle is best served hot right out of the oven.
This souffle is packed with a lot of flavors, as it combines mashed sweet potato with two types of cheese, Cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese, eggs and a pinch of nutmeg.

How to make sweet potato souffle.
Even though it may not seem like it, the recipe for this sweet potato souffle is very easy. First, you need to cook the potatoes. You can boil, roast, or microwave the potatoes, preferably with their skin on. When cooled slightly, mash the potato using a potato masher.
Butter the ramekins and coat with fine breadcrumbs and set them aside. Preheat a baking sheet while preparing the souffle mixture.
Separate whites from yolks. Add the yolks to the mashed sweet potatoes and mix them in. Add cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, nutmeg, melted butter and cream. Mix them in and set them aside. Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form and gently fold them into the potato mixture.
Divide the mixture evenly into the prepared ramekins and top each soufflé with Parmesan, paprika and freshly ground black pepper. Bake for about 20 minutes until puffed and golden.
Serve immediately, while still hot alongside a fresh salad, crispy bacon or meat.
