One of my favorite recipes is a ‘Sweet Potato Souffle’ that my Aunt used to make - with marshmallow topping:
Sweet Potato Souffle
Prepare 2 cups of mashed sweet potatoes:
Boil potatoes in their skins until done; remove skins and mash.
Preheat oven to 350.
Scald: 1 C. milk
Add:
½ C. sugar
1 tsp. salt
3 T. butter
1 tsp. nutmeg
and the potatoes. Beat until fluffy.
Separate 2 eggs. Beat yolks and add to the potato mixture.
Add: ½ C. raisins, and stir in well.
Beat the 2 egg whites until stiff, and fold into 1st. mixture.
Pour into greased baking dish.
Bake at 350 for 50 to 60 minutes, or until knife comes out clean. When done, top with marshmallows and brown briefly under broiler.
(Usually I make the potatoes the night before, and dont bother separating the eggs.)
That sounds delicious!
Eeek! No nutmeg. Nope nope nope.
There’s really no need to scald milk these days as it is already pasteurized.
