Kitchen Korner with Dolly Lawler

If you’ve ever attended La Comedia and dined at their luscious buffet, you’ve probably eaten their signature dish, Sweet PotatoSoufflé.  Here’s a copy cat recipe for that sumptuous dish.  I’m one of those strange people who prefers sweet potatoes baked, then served with only butter, lots of butter, but my family loves the casserole style sweet potatoes, so that’s what I serve at family gatherings.  It’s just wonderful.  Try it and see what you think.
