Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes
1/3 cup cream
3 egg yolks
Whites of 4 eggs, beaten until stiff
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon butter for greasing dish

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Prick the sweet potatoes and place in a baking dish. Put in oven and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until soft. Remove from oven, slice in half and scoop flesh into a bowl. Using a wire whisk or electric mixer, whip until smooth. Measure 1 3/4 cups. Reserve any remaining potatoes for another use.
Lower oven temperature to 350 degrees.
In a bowl blend the sweet potatoes and cream. Add the egg yolks, nutmeg and brown sugar, mixing well. Fold in the beaten egg whites.
Place the mixture in a buttered 1-quart souffle or baking dish and place in a preheated 350 degree oven. Bake for 35 to 40, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
