Ingredients
Scale
- 6 medium potatoes (2 pounds), peeled and cut into chunks
- 1/2 of an 8-ounce container soft-style cream cheese with chives and onion (4 ounces)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Milk (about 1/3 cup)
- 2 egg whites or 1 whole egg
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fine dry bread crumbs
- 2 teaspoons margarine or butter, melted
- Nonstick spray coating
Instructions
- Spray 6 individual soufflé dishes with nonstick spray coating. Set aside.
- Peel and cut potatoes into uniform chunks. Cover with cold salted water in a large pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain thoroughly and let steam for 2 minutes.
- Transfer drained potatoes to a large bowl. Mash with an electric mixer on low speed until smooth.
- Add cream cheese, salt, and a small amount of milk (start with 2 tablespoons). Beat on low speed, gradually adding just enough milk to make the potato mixture light and fluffy but still thick enough to hold its shape. The mixture should fall in thick ribbons from the beaters.
- Beat in egg whites or whole egg until the mixture is light and airy.
- Spoon potato mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe decorative swirls into each prepared dish, starting from the outside edge and working toward the center. (Alternatively, spoon mixture into dishes and create peaks on top with the back of a spoon.)
- In a small dish, combine Parmesan cheese, dry bread crumbs, and melted margarine or butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over each potato soufflé.
- At this point, dishes can be covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours, or baked immediately.
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes (30 to 35 minutes if chilled) or until heated through and golden brown on top.
- Serve hot directly from the individual soufflé dishes.
- For 12 servings: Prepare Potatoes Supreme as directed, except double the recipe and use 12 individual soufflé dishes.
