Potato Soufflé

This easy to make Potato Soufflé is inexpensive but very tasty. The word 'souffle' comes from the French souffle, which means "to puff". When you see these come out of the oven, you'll understand why!

Ingredients

• 30 g butter, plus extra for greasing
• 85 g mature Cheddar
• 30g Italian hard style cheese
• Small bunch chives
• 2 eggs
• 1 large baking potato, cooked
• 6 tbsp milk

Directions

1.  Preheat the oven to 220°C / 450°F and put a baking sheet in the oven to heat up. Then generously butter 4 ramekin dishes.
2.  You can microwave your potato for 7 - 8 minutes. Alternatively, boil it whole and unpeeled for 35 minutes or until tender. Peel when cool.
3.  Grate the Cheddar and the Italian hard style cheeses. Snip the chives into small pieces (you should have about 2 tsp). Then separate the eggs.
4.  Put the potato flesh in a bowl and mash well. Then stir in the cheeses, chives, and egg yolks.
5.  Warm the milk and butter in a pan, then pour this over the potato mixture and stir everything together. Season with pepper (the Italian hard style cheese is already quite salty).
6.  Whisk the egg whites to floppy peaks. Next gently fold the egg whites into the potato mixture.
7.  Fill the prepared ramekins with the mixture. Put the ramekins on the hot baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15 - 17 minutes until puffed and golden.
