Instructions:

1. Preparation:

   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 2-quart souffle dish with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Mixing the Ingredients:

   • In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, nonfat milk, cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, Parmesan cheese, green onion, chopped onion, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

3. Incorporating Eggs:

   • Separate the eggs, placing yolks in a small bowl and whites in another large mixing bowl.
   • Beat the egg yolks lightly, then stir them into the potato mixture until fully combined.

4. Beating Egg Whites:

   • In the bowl with egg whites, beat them with an electric mixer or whisk until stiff peaks form. This will help the souffle rise and become fluffy.

5. Folding Egg Whites:

   • Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the potato mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites; the goal is to maintain the airiness.

6. Baking:

   • Transfer the combined mixture into the prepared souffle dish, spreading it evenly.
   • Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the souffle has puffed up.

7. Serving:

   • Once baked, remove the souffle from the oven and serve immediately while it’s still puffed and fluffy.

Enjoy this delicious Three-Cheese Potato Souffle as a flavorful side dish or a light main course, perfect for any occasion! Serve it alongside a fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal experience. The combination of cheeses and fluffy texture will surely impress your family and guests alike.
