Yummy Sweet Potato Souffle

My sister in law made this last year for Thanksgiving, it's SOOOO yummy!  My mommy said she would make it this year! :)  My assignment my "FAMOUS" mashed potatoes.  (They really aren't famous but my kids LOVE them!  And fight over them, so I have to make a TON! :)  Lots of healthy stuff like butter, sour cream, and milk included...sometimes I make a garlic paste and add that to it--YUMMO!)
