Smoked Sweet Potato Soufflé

Smoked Sweet Potato Soufflé

By Danielle "Diva Q" Bennett

Our Traeger Pro, Diva Q, puts her signature style on this classic holiday casserole. If you like, you can make the sweet potato based a day ahead of cooking. Just cover it and refrigerate it. If baked from cold, the souffle may need a few more minutes on the grill.

    When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 350°F and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.

    Bake the sweet potatoes: Pierce each sweet potato all over with a fork, then place directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and cook until the potatoes are softened, about 60 minutes. Remove from the grill and let cool for 15 minutes.

    Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop the flesh into a large bowl. Mash with a potato masher or fork, then press through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean large bowl to remove any lumps. Add the brown sugar, eggs, cream, butter, vanilla, thyme, and Traeger Chicken Rub and stir well to combine. Butter a 9-inch square baking dish, transfer the sweet potato mixture to it, and smooth the top.

    Make the topping: In a large bowl, combine the ¾ cup brown sugar, chopped pecans, butter, flour, salt, and bourbon, if using. Use your fingers to bring the mixture together, mashing some of the butter into smaller bits as you go. Sprinkle the topping over the potatoes.
