Swiss Souffle Potatoes

May 11, 2023 | Blog, Kosher Recipes

Shavuot is on the way. Everyone has their favorite recipe for cheese cake (in fact we had mine on the last mailout). So now for something completely different. This is a milky vegetable that will enhance any milk meal on the upcoming Chag. When served with your favorite Shavuot dish, just use 1 or 2 halves. For children (and most adults) this is a delicious dish just served with baked beans. As a main meal use 3 or 4 halves. Enjoy!

SWISS SOUFFLE POTATOES

Ingredients:

  • 4 medium baking potatoes
  • 115gr Gruyere cheese, grated
  • 115gr herb-flavoured butter
  • 60ml double cream
  • 2 eggs, separated
  • Salt and pepper

Method: 

  • Preheat the oven to 220C, gas 7. Scrub the potatoes, and then prick them all over with a fork.
  • Bake for 1 ½ hours until tender. Remove them from the oven and reduce the temperature to 180C, gas 4.
  • Allow to cool sufficiently so you can pick them up.
  • Cut each potato in half and scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Return the potato shells to the oven to crisp them up while making the filling.
  • Mash the potato flesh using a fork, then add the Gruyere, herb-flavoured butter, cream, egg yolks and seasoning.
  • Beat well until smooth.
  • Whisk the egg whites in a separate bowl until they hold stiff peaks, then fold slowly into the potato mixture.
  • Pile the mixture back into the potato shells and bake for 20-25 minutes, until risen and golden brown.

Another successful experience

Our experience was unique in that we were able to tour a lot of territory and a variety of places with minimal inconvenience. The fact that our boat was always with us and there were no long bus rides or waits made this mode of travel extremely enjoyable.
