This Sweet Potato Soufflè recipe has been our mom's tradition every Thanksgiving, and now I make it for our family. The hint of orange juice makes it! The crispy pecan nut topping AND marshmallows (because some like one or the other better -that's just a large family for ya) make this a heavenly side dish that we all like to dig in to. I hope that you enjoy this recipe -and it becomes your holiday favorite too!
