Working with some of my favorite people like Matt Pitman from Meat Church has me inspired to create new holiday traditions. I learned the filling for this soufflé from Matt and my mind was blown by how good it was. You’ll definitely want to pick up some Holy Cow Seasoning for this recipe and use it in so many dishes. I bake it on the grill and top mine with a smoked Swiss meringue. Finish it with a kitchen torch for that toasted look and flavor. You can find Traeger Smoked Simple Syrup online or at your local retailer.
Sweet Potato Soufflé with Smoked Swiss Meringue
Equipment
- 6 inch Lodge Cast Iron Pan, buttered
Ingredients
Sweet Potato Filling
- 1 each large sweet potato roasted, skin removed
- 2 T butter melted
- 2 T brown sugar or as desired
- 1 tsp Meat Church Holy Cow Seasoning
Traeger Smoked Swiss Meringue
- 2 large egg whites
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 T Traeger Smoked Simple Syrup or more if desired
Instructions
Sweet Potato Filling
- Preheat your grill to 350F.
- Roast your sweet potato until soft and cooked through. Time will vary based on size and shape.
- I put my cooked and peeled sweet potatoes through a potato ricer, alternatively you can scoop out the flesh and mash it with a fork.
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, and Holy Cow seasoning.
- Pour it over the Traeger roasted sweet potato and mix.
- Press the sweet potato mixture into a small buttered cast iron skillet.
- Bake on your grill until warmed through and the flavors come together, 350F, 15-20 minutes.
- In the meantime, prepare the Traeger Smoked Swiss Meringue.
Smoked Swiss Meringue
- In a bowl for a mixer, place the egg whites, sugar, cream of tartar, and pinch of salt.
- Begin to whisk by hand, and place the bowl over a pot of simmering water.
- Continue to whisk constantly until all the sugar has dissolved and the egg whites have started to lighten.
- The egg white mixture should read 160F on an instant read thermometer.
- Transfer to the mixer with the whisk attachment.
- Whip on medium high until stif peaks form.
- Drizzle in the Traeger Smoked Simple Syrup and whisk until well incorporated.
- Top the sweet potatoes with the meringue and toast with a kitchen torch. Serve warm.
Notes
If making this for a larger family, increase the sweet potato filling ingredients and cast iron skillet size. The meringue recipe should make enough for an 8-10 inch skillet.
