Review This Recipe

Move over old recipe!

Sherri Manning from BEAUFORT, SC

I am always trying new recipes and tweaking them to just the perfect way before I put them in my own personal recipe lists. I thought that I had a perfect sweet potato casserole recipe...before I tried this one. Superb, a must try b/c it was easier, faster, and better tasting than my previous recipe. (And I even forgot to add the butter!)

Christmas dinner

Barb McCammon from Osborne, KS

I made this for our family Christmas as an alternative to the traditional sweet potatoes. If I make it again, I will definatley be adding more spices as the taste was very bland.
sweet potato souffle

Martha Pierson from Miami, FL

I find the canned sweet potatoes way tooo sweet. I bake fresh sweet potatoes wrapped in aluminum foil at 400 until a fork comes out clean (about 30 min). You can add more brown sugar for your own taste. I also add golden rasins, coconut flakes and pecans to my souffle as well as 1/4 C of kulua. Then add either pecans or marshmallows on the top.
Wonderful holiday side dish

Kat Weeks from Calhoun, LA

My sister always fixes this. It is truly a great holiday memory. Make it one of yours now. It is easy and sounds fancy.
Hard to believe this is sweet potatoes...

melony hoefer from omaha, NE

Fabulous dish, super easy and a huge hit with the family....we made with fresh sweet potatoes as we had a bumper crop this year and I may need to plant even more for next year so I can make this more often.....
Sweet potatoes & pecans

We put pecans inside the sweet potatoes mixture & on top.
Sweet Potatoes

Jamie Schoeling from EDMOND, OK

I had this at my sis-in-law's for Thanksgiving and it was to die for. She let us think it took hours to make, then she told us her secret, quick and easy recipe. I'm making this next holiday!
Best ever!

Charlene Hirschberg from HIGHLAND MILLS, NY

I got this recipe last minute from a friend this year. As I had already bought fresh sweet potatoes, I baked and scooped them for the recipe. And, since my guests were clamoring for a marshmallow-topped sweet potato dish this year, I just threw mini marshmallows on top of the pecans, and baked until browned. A HUGE hit!

Sweet Potato Souffle

Jeanne Porter from Huntertown, IN

This was easy to make ahead of time. I refrigerated it until needed and it came out deliciously. This flavor and texture was different from my old recipe and I and my family enjoyed this version better.

It was good but it could have used more sugar.
A Big Hit!

Nanette Stevens from GREENSBORO, NC

I made this souffle for Thanksgiving. For the first time ever, there were no sweet potatoes left over after dinner.
Wonderful addition to my Thanksgiving table

Paulette Lashley from SHENANDOAH JUNCTION, WV

My son in law is fond of sweet potatoes, so I made this for the first time at Thanksgiving dinner. It is a keeper!! Not only my son in law, but step son and father in law really raved about this dish.

DON'T WAIT FOR THANKSGIVING

Deb WEITZEL from BOCA RATON, FL

THIS MAKES A DELICIOUS SIDE DISH ALL YEAR ROUND. VERY CREAMY TASTY AND EASY.
Terrific Side

JENNI KOONTZ from GULF BREEZE, FL

Since I've only tried a few recipes so far, and wanting to use fresh veggies and lower-fat items I modified this with cubed & boiled sweet potatoes and added a bit of chunk pineapple - terrific! I suggest whipping the eggs seperately and then folding in for smoother texture. We loved it and will repeat with pork tenderloin soon! Thanks!
Easy New Side Dish

Debbie Ziobert from NORTH BRANCH, MN

This is so quick and easy to make! I served it this thanksgiving for the first time and it went over great. It also looks great among all the other holiday dishes. I added extra pecan pieces for a little more crunch!
Fabulous!!

Dee Nicastro from Howard Beach, NY

I made this dish to bring to a Thanksgiving dinner and it was a huge hit!! I followed the directions exactly, except at the end, in addition to sprinkling the top with pecans, I also sprinkled some extra brown sugar!! It was really a cinch to put this recipe together, and it made a lovely presentation as well!! I cooked it all the way, then the hostess popped it in her over to keep warm and it served beautifully! It was very light and with just the right amount of sweetness! The pecans on top gave it a nice crunch that went perfectly with the smooth texture of the souffle! I am definitely making this again for Christmas dinner!
SOOOO Yummy!

Lisa Rademacher from ELK RIVER, MN

I made this today to bring to our Thanksgiving tomorrow. First of all, what an easy recipe! Secondly, it is the best sweet potato dish I have eaten! I snuck some and cooked it for myself and tomorrow I think I will forget the Turkey, stuffing, etc and just eat my sweet potato souffle. Whoever thought up this recipe is brillant!
Great all by it self!

Gwen Mitchell from Greenville, NC

This is great! I like to put brown sugar on the top with the nuts. I could eat it all by itself!
Very Good!!!

Jessica Weiss from WICHITA FALLS, TX

I really enjoyed eating this for breakfast in the morning. The texture of the souffle is fantastic and the pecans add a nice crunch to the mix! It's not overly sweet but just right. If you like sweet potatoes, you'll love this souffle!!
Wonderful!

TAMMY HORNER from PORT SAINT LUCIE, FL

I made this for the first time for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it. I did make it again and added a little bit more brown sugar to sweetin it a little more.
Sweet Potato Souffle

Arlene Bozicnik from Boulder Junction, WI

This was easy to make. I amde it the night before and then for my dinner party all I did was reheat. And everyone thought I was in the kitchen for hours little do they know!
Sweet Potato Souffle'

rosemary correia from WESTPORT, MA

My family enjoys sweet potato casserole. Ones I have made in the past usually call for molasses which are very good. What I liked best about this souffle is that it wasn't overly sweet. Instead of putting nuts on top I make a mixture of crushed vanilla wafers, brown sugar and melted butter or margarine. It comes out excellent
My new holiday favorite

Gwen Boulton from Cleveland, OH

I love sweet potatoes but my husband really doesn’t, so I’ve been searching for a recipe that we could both enjoy. After making the Soufflé' my husband was very skeptical but when he tried it he loved it!! I add more nuts because we like it crunchy it’s delicious!!!

CINDY SCHINZEL from SWARTZ CREEK, MI

What a great way to have sweet potatoes!!! The recipe tasted like pudding. Very Smooth--it was even great reheated.
Delicious.....

My family is a true test and everyone loved it. And it was so easy for me to make.
Sweet potato souffle

JORGE JUEZ from LAPINE, AL

I tried this recipe at the Thanksgiving dinner, and lets just say that it was all gone. No one could believe that I made it.
Something Different

Tammy Baxter from OXON HILL, MD

This recipe was very good and easy to make. I made 2 different version. One I topped with the chopped walnuts and the other I added marshmellows and both turned out great.

Really a nice compliment to your Thanksgiving dinner or any dinner for that matter. I add a Tbsp of pure maple sugar to it and it tastes fantastic!
First time

sweet potato souffle

DIANE BENZEE from TIGER, GA

This is easy to make and most requested dish I get at the holidays, a must. When my son is home holiday or not, it will get made sometime when he is here!
excellent testure and taste

Elaine Leithiser from WETUMPKA, AL

This recipe is worth keeping for a special occasion or for everyday. It is light and fluffy. It is not too sweet with a crunchy topping. It is just right for the finicky eater
Wow!!!

Karen S from Worth, Il

We have added this to our holiday favorites, and it is sorely missed when skipped for even one occasion! The only slight change we made: we triple the amount of chopped pecans for the recipe. They add the perfect balance for us, and keep the "top scraping" at bay!
This is great !!

Linda Randles from NORTH CANTON, OH

This is a great recipe for something different besides regular potatoes. The family loved it and there was no left overs either.
Even the kids liked the sweet potatoes!

Kristine Elliott from KERSEY, CO

I made this for christmas dinner with my family. everyone raved on how good it was. Even the kids enjoyed it!
Sweet Potato Souffle

Mari from Clute, Texas

I thought this recipe was extremely easy to make. I made it in a spring bottom pan and sprinkled the bottom with the pecans and then added the souffle. After it was baked I fliped it out of the pan into a serving plate and it came out beautifully. Everyone loved it and asked for the recipe.
SWEET POTATO SOUFFLE

SUSAN ROGERS from FOUNTAIN INN, SC

I MADE THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME FOR CHRISTMAS DINNER THIS YEAR. EVERYONE LOVED IT. I SUBSTITUTED MARSHMELLOWS FOR THE NUTS THOUGH. I WILL DEFINITELY MAKE IT AGAIN.
I wait all year for the Holidays, just for Sweet P

Judith Vandagriff from ROYAL PALM BEACH, FL

I just could not serve Holiday dinners without making a sweet potato souffle. This delicious recipe is a standard for this side dish. Easy to make, wonderful aroma while cooking and so fabulous to eat. Even my son who doesn't eat sweet potatoes anyother way, LOVES this recipe! A must on your holiday dinner table, (or covered dish get together.
