1 tablespoon butter, plus more for souffle dish
Sugar, for souffle dish
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole milk
1 cup Mashed Sweet Potatoes
3 large eggs, room temperature, separated

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Salt

Remove from heat; mix in sweet potatoes and egg yolks. Stir in maple syrup and nutmeg, and set aside.
