Recipes Side Dish Vegetables Sweet Potatoes Gourmet Sweet Potato Soufflé 4.7 (93) 69 Reviews 15 Photos This sweet potato casserole without pecans is one of my most-requested dishes, and it's perfect for Easter, Thanksgiving, or anytime you need a fancy side dish. It looks much more difficult to make than it is, and guests are always impressed! Even people who don't like sweet potatoes ask for second helpings. I hope you enjoy it too.
