Awesome Sweet Potato Balls image

These are adapted from an old recipe...you could roll them in coconut instead of nuts like Grandma did, but my hubby hates coconut so I changed it to pecans for us! Prep time doesn't include pre-mashing the potatoes since I do that a day ahead.

These sweet potato balls were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I should have added more milk to the batter. But the flavor was good, so I'll try making them again with a few adjustments.

I love that these sweet potato balls are baked, not fried. It makes them a healthier option, but they're still crispy and delicious. I served them with a side of roasted vegetables, and they were the perfect comfort food.

I love sweet potatoes, so I was excited to try these balls. They were good, but I was expecting them to be a little more flavorful. I think I'll try adding some more spices to the batter next time.
