Fireside Inn Sweet Potato Souffle

The Fireside Inn is a marvelous dinner theater in Fort Atkinson, WI. On their buffet they serve this wonderful sweet potato soufflé. That alone is reason enough to want to go there.

I served this for Thanksgiving 2024 and for sure it will be on the menu for every Thanksgiving from now on. Everyone loved it, even the ones who normally don't care for sweet potatoes.

4 large sweet potatoes (4 pounds)

⅔ cup melted butter

7 eggs

1¼ cups evaporated milk

2 cups sugar

½ tsp salt

Steam and puree the potatoes. Add remaining ingredients and put in a buttered 9x12" Pyrex baking pan.

Pecan Topping

¼ cup flour

2 Tbs melted butter

½ cup light brown sugar

¼ cup chopped pecans 

Mix all together and sprinkle evenly over the top of the sweet potato mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 300 degrees for 1½ hours.
