  • Boil the sweet potatoes, with their skin on, for about 17-20 minutes or until tender. Let them cool slightly. You can also microwave the sweet potatoes or roast them in the oven.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a baking sheet on the middle rack in the oven. Butter 4 ramekins of 8-9 oz (230-250ml) capacity and coat the bottom and sides with fine breadcrumbs. Discard excess breadcrumbs.
  • Separate whites from yolks and set aside until ready to use.
  • Peel the potatoes and transfer them to a large bowl. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher.
  • Add the egg yolks and salt and mix to combine.
  • Stir in grated cheddar cheese, a pinch of nutmeg and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Add melted butter and light cream and mix to combine. Set aside.
  • Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  • Gradually fold the whipped whites into the potato mixture.
  • Divide the mixture evenly into the prepared ramekins. Sprinkle Parmesan, freshly ground black pepper and paprika on top of each.
  • Place the ramekins onto the preheated baking sheet and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 mins until golden and puffed.
  • Serve immediately. You can serve the souffle alongside a fresh salad, meat and crusty or toasted bread. Enjoy!
