Question 1

What is the difference between sweet potato souffle and casserole?

Accepted Answer

The main difference is not huge, however, in my opinion, these are the main factors that make them different: Texture: The Souffle is supposed to be much puffed, tender, and smoother, and also hold its shape better. Usually, for the souffle, to get a very smooth texture, the ingredients are added to a blender and processed until smooth and well combined. A hand mixer can be used as well. While sweet potatoes for the casserole are just mashed. Key Ingredient: A key ingredient in the Souffle that is usually missing in the casserole version is Self Rising Flour. The flour is added to add that airy, puffed texture to the souffle, and bring all the ingredients together, making it easier to scoop or even cut. Toppings: While Sweet Potato Casseroles are known for all the topping options, when it comes to souffles, they are kept simpler, because the selling point is really the texture. However, this doesn't mean that you can't improvise and add your favorite toppings.

Question 2

Why is my sweet potato souffle soupy?

Accepted Answer

It could be the measurement of the ingredients. Sweet potatoes are fickle and can release excess water too so make sure you mash them well after you cook them. No matter why it is runny, you can fix it with a bit of a thickening agent like cornstarch. Simply add one tablespoon and mix it into the sauce while it is still warm.

Question 3

What is the difference between yams and sweet potatoes?

Accepted Answer

You will not often see real yams in your local grocery store. Even if it says yams, it is probably sweet potatoes. A yam is dark brown and a dry pale flesh while sweet potatoes are reddish brown to pink with orange flesh. Sweet potatoes are sweeter and smoother when cooked as well.
