New Spin Sweet Potatoes

Peel and boil 2 1/2 pounds of sweet potatoes when done, mash and add :

1 tsp. nutmeg
2 TBS squeezed orange juice
1 TBS grated orange zest
1/2 cup brown sugar.

Mix well and then take some in the palm of your hand. Use 1/2 of a marshmallow (whole one if you want large balls) and place in the center. Form a ball with the potato mixture around marshmallow.

Roll balls in
1/2 cup white sugar
1 TBS cinnamon
2 cups coconut.


Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes. Watch carefully so the marshmallow center doesn't explode all over your oven. A real mess to clean up as I can attest to. I serve these through out the year with roast, steak and chicken in addition to turkey during the holidays.

Thanks to Lizzie!
