Instructions

1 Cooking the potato:

1) Oven Roasted Method - 400 degrees 30 to 40 minutes wrapped in aluminum foil.

Microwave Method -Cook the potato on high for 10 to 12 minutes.

Once cooked, allow to cool off for 3 to 5 minutes, then place into a large
mixing bowl and mash/fluff the potato.
2 Preparing the souffle: In a saucepot melt butter, then add the garlic cook until
the smell of raw garlic has changed to a nice nutty aroma. The add-in the half
and half milk.

The next step is to add the fluffed potato, cheeses, chives to the milk mixture
and combined them together. Just enough to not overwork the mixture.
3 Separate the egg whites and egg yolks:

The yolks get added to the potato mixture. The egg whites go into a clean mixing
bowl.
4 Whipping the egg whites: Make sure the bowl and beaters are clean and free of
any grease or other residues. This will help the egg whites whip up more easily.
- - Start with room temperature eggs.

- Cold eggs are more difficult to whip into a stable foam.

- Add a bit of cream of tartar, salt, or sugar before starting to whip the egg
whites. This will help stabilize the foam.

Next, add the whipped egg whites in thirds trying not to remove the incorporated
air. Just mix enough to combine, then quit mixing.
5 The ramekins: Butter the insides of the ramekins and fill with the potato
mixture. Make sure to not fill all the way to the top as the souffle will puff
up, rise in the ramekin.

Adding breadcrumbs to the buttered ramekins will give the souffle something to
grab onto, and come believe this helps with the finished height of the souffle.
6 Garnish with chive and cheese before baking. I suggest not using a lot of cheese
as garnish. Takes away from the presentation.
7 Baking the potato souffle: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place a cookie sheet in
the oven to heat up at least 5 minutes before baking.

When you are ready to bake, place the ramekins on the hot cookie sheet and place
them in the middle of the oven for 15 to 17 minutes or until golden brown and
delicious.
