- 3 Medium Size / 3 Medium Size Potato Boiled
- ½ Cup / 56.5 g Mixed Cheddar Grated
- ¼ Cup / 25 g Parmesan Cheese Grated
- ¼ Tsp / 1.23 g Salt
- ¼ Tsp / 1.23 g Black Pepper
- ½ Tsp / 2.46 g Garlic Powder
- ½ Tsp / 2.46 g Red chili powder
- 2 Tbsp / 29.57 ml Melted Butter

- 2 Large / 2 Large Eggs Room Temperature
- 2 Tbsp / 29.57 g Fresh Coriander Chopped
For Greasing
- 1 Tbsp / 14.79 g Butter Room Temperature
- 2 Tbsp / 29.57 g Breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Place potatoes into a large pot with enough water. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20-25 minutes; drain.
- Generously butter 4 (9cm) ramekins and dust bottom and sides thoroughly with breadcrumbs, making sure breadcrumbs are covering all the butter inside the dish. Tap out the excess sugar. Set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 220℃ (425℉).
- Place the boiled and peeled potatoes in a large bowl and mash them. Add the grated cheddar, parmesan, salt, pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, melted butter, milk, egg yolks and chopped coriander. Mix everything using a spatula until well combined.
- Now, using an electric mixer beat egg whites at medium speed until the mixture is fluffy and medium peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the potato mixture.
- Fill the prepared ramekins with potato mixture. Rub your thumb around the inside of the rim to create about a ¼-inch space between the dish and the soufflé mixture. This will help the soufflé to rise straight.
- Transfer ramekins into a baking tray and bake until the soufflés are puffed and and the tops are touched with brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with a little spring onions and serve immediately.
