Bring both elegance and comfort to your table with this delightful potato souffle recipe. Creamy mashed potatoes and a blend of three cheeses are combined into a classic side dish that’s a true crowd-pleaser, sure to impress both novice and experienced cooks alike.<\/p>\n
While a souffle may seem like an intimidating dish, you’ll be excited to see how easy it is to make, requiring just 15 minutes of prep time and 40 minutes in the oven. Trust us, you really can do it!<\/p>\n
A souffle is a classic French dish<\/a> known for its light and airy texture, which is achieved by folding beaten egg whites into a flavorful base mixture. The souffle puffs up beautifully when baked, creating a delicate and impressive presentation. The key to a perfect souffle is carefully incorporating the egg whites and maintaining a steady baking temperature to ensure a consistent rise. Souffles can be savory or sweet, with common ingredients including cheese, vegetables, chocolate and fruit.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, milk, cheeses, green onions, onions, salt and pepper. Stir until all the ingredients are well mixed.<\/p>\n In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks until smooth, then stir them into the potato mixture. Next, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer or whisk by hand until stiff peaks<\/a> form, then gently fold them into the souffle mixture. Be careful not to deflate the whites; fold until just combined.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/i> Ensure that no yolk gets into the whites when separating the eggs, as this can prevent the whites from whipping properly.<\/p>\n Transfer the mixture to a 2-quart souffle dish coated with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, for 40 to 45 minutes or until golden and set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Serve the potato souffle immediately while it’s still puffed and golden.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/i> Do not open the oven door while baking to prevent the souffle from collapsing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Cover your leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil in the refrigerator. This will keep the souffle fresh and prevent it from absorbing other odors. It’s best to consume within two to three days.<\/p>\n Potato souffle is best enjoyed fresh but can last up to three days in the refrigerator. Reheat it in the oven to maintain the best texture.<\/p>\n You can prepare the potato mixture and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just fold in the beaten egg whites right before baking.<\/p>\n A souffle typically consists of a flavorful base (like mashed potatoes or a custard), a binding agent (one being egg yolks) and beaten egg whites to provide the airy, light texture.<\/p>\n The secret to a perfect souffle is carefully folding beaten egg whites into the base mixture. Gently combining the egg whites traps air into the dish, which expands during baking, creating a signature rise and airy texture.<\/p>\n While traditional souffle dishes are round to ensure even cooking and proper rise, other shapes like square or rectangular baking dishes work just fine. Just be mindful of the cooking time and check for doneness.<\/p>\n Souffles are traditionally served hot to keep their light, airy texture and puffed appearance. A souffle side dish pairs wonderfully with a fresh green salad<\/a>, grilled vegetables<\/a>\u00a0or a simple protein like roasted chicken or steak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This potato souffle incorporates mashed potatoes and a blend of cheeses into light and airy goodness.
