Herb & Cheese Potato Soufflés
- 1-1/4 pound Russet Potatoes, Peeled
- 1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter
- 1 cup Grated Swiss Cheese
- 1/3 cups Half-and-half
- 1-1/2 teaspoon Chopped Fresh Rosemary
- 1-1/2 teaspoon Chopped Fresh Thyme
- 3 Large Eggs, At Room Temperature, Separated
- 1/8 teaspoons Cream Of Tartar
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- Preheat oven to 375u0b0F. Generously brush inside of 5-inch souffle dishes with butter.
- Cut potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Add potatoes to large pot and cover with cold water. Bring potatoes to boil over medium-high heat. Continue to cook until potatoes are fork-tender, about 10 minutes.
- Drain potatoes very well. Place a food mill attached with coarse die over large bowl. Add potatoes to bowl of food mill. Once all potatoes pass through mill, scrape bottom to remove any excess potatoes.
- Stir in butter, grated cheese, half-and-half, and herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in egg yolks.
- Add egg whites to a large bowl. Whisk until foamy. Add a pinch of cream of tartar to bowl. Continue to whisk egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Add a heaping scoop of egg whites to potato mixture; gently stir to combine. Fold in remaining egg whites until no streaks of white remain.
- Fill each prepared souffle dish 3/4 full with potato mixture. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until souffle is puffed and a rich golden brown color. Serve immediately.
- Notes:
- 1. If you don't own a food mill, you can use a potato ricer or mash your potatoes using a potato masher.
- 2. The souffles will deflate slightly a few minutes after you remove them from the oven-that's normal.
