Chive Potato Souffle Recipes

POTATO-CHIVE SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a 2 1/2-quart souffle dish with vegetable-oil cooking spray, coat dish with bread crumbs, and lightly tap to rid dish of the excess. Place the dish in the freezer to chill.
• Place potatoes, garlic, bay leaves, and 1 teaspoon salt in a small stockpot. Fill with cold water to cover potatoes, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium high, and cook until potatoes are very soft, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove stockpot from heat, and drain potatoes, making sure to remove any excess water. Discard bay leaves.
• Pass potatoes through a potato ricer or food mill into a large bowl. Stir baking soda into buttermilk, and mix into potatoes with milk, chives, sugar, remaining teaspoon salt, and pepper. Mixture should be thick and soupy, not stiff. Set aside.
• Place egg whites and cream of tartar in an electric mixer, and beat on medium speed until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Fold egg whites into the potato mixture. Remove the souffle dish from the freezer, and pour in the potato mixture. Transfer to the oven, and bake until souffle has rise above the dish and the top is browned, about 45 minutes. Remove souffle from the oven, and serve immediately.

CHIVE POTATO SOUFFLE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, cheese, sour cream, chives and salt. Beat egg yolks; stir into potato mixture. In a small bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form; gently fold into the potato mixture. Transfer to a greased 1-1/2-qt. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Sprinkle with chives. Serve immediately.
