Sweet Potato Souffle

November 8, 2012 By marketeditor

America loves its regional traditions, especially when it comes to food, and Southern cuisine is known to favor food that is both rich and sweet. This dish combines both qualities and could be a welcome variation of the sweet potato on Saratoga dinner tables this fall. It is well worth the extra bit of work.

Sweet Potatoes vs. Yams
What is a “sweet potato” and what is a “yam”? Even restaurant menus and labels on packaging often confuse the two. So what are they? The familiar orange tubers commonly available in the U.S. are sweet potatoes from the morning glory family (Convolvulaceae). True yams, members of the Dioscoreaceae family, are generally imported from the Caribbean and are dry, starchy and white fleshed. Few people in the U.S. have actually eaten yams. Despite this, many people, even in the food industry, call sweet potatoes yams.

Ingredients

(Makes 8-10 servings. Those marked * are available at the Saratoga Springs Winter Farmers’ Market.)

2 boiled or baked local sweet potatoes, cooled and peeled to make 2½ cups *

1 tsp. salt

⅓ cup 100% maple syrup (Sheldon Farm) *

3 tbsp. brown sugar, packed

4 tbsp. corn starch

4 farm fresh eggs brought to room temperature and separated *

1½ sticks butter, melted

1 cup heavy cream (Battenkill Valley Creamery) *

½ cup pecans, chopped

 

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Put 2½ cups of sweet potato flesh into a bowl. Stir in the salt, maple syrup, brown sugar, cornstarch, egg yolks and butter. Beat the cream until fluffy and stir into the sweet potato mixture.

3. In another bowl, the beat eggs whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.

4. Gently fold the egg whites into the sweet potato mixture.

5. Pour into a buttered 2-quart soufflé dish. Sprinkle pecans on top. Bake for 50 minutes.

 

A version of this market recipe appears in this week’s edition of Saratoga Today.

Starting off the week with another MCM (Market Cru Starting off the week with another MCM (Market Crush Monday!) This week we talked to Kim from Mugzy’s Barkery who brings healthy, locally made dog treats to the market. 
 
1. How did Mugzy’s Barkery get started? 
My sister Jaime started the business just over 5 years ago to have a healthier treat option to give her beloved Olde English Bulldog, Mugzy. Our treats are all natural and organic, providing a healthy alternative to mass-produced treats for caring dog parents. 
 
 2. What’s your favorite part about vending at the market?
Definitely getting to see all the dogs! The funny thing is I know all our regular customer’s dogs by name, not the owners. 
 
3. What are your most popular treat flavors?
Pumpkin paws (grain-free biscuits) and the pupcakes (a bite-sized treat) are really popular with the dogs but we also have flavors like PB cookie cups, apple cheddar training treats, banana buddies and more, so something to fit any pup’s tastes!
 
The PB cookie cups have been tried and approved by our market assistant’s dog, Lacey!
