How to Make Easy Cheese Potato And Ham Souffl

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Boil 1 kg potatoes until tender. Peel and then use a food processor or ricer to create an exceptionally smooth purée.
  3. Separate 4 large eggs, placing yolks in one bowl and whites in a separate, grease-free bowl.
  4. Gently whisk together the egg yolks, 100ml double cream, 150g diced cooked ham (or 150g crispy crumbled bacon), 100g grated cheddar cheese, and the potato purée. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  5. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the egg whites into the potato mixture until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  7. Butter a 2-quart soufflé dish generously. Spoon the mixture into the prepared dish.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
  9. Serve immediately!
