These are a great alternative to traditional sweet potatoes for the holidays. I saw her make them on her Thanksgiving special and they are very easy.

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large sweet potatoes
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon orange zest
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh nutmeg
2 cups shredded coconut, sweetened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
marshmallows, 1 large marshmallow per potato ball

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Bake the potatoes until tender, then peel and mash them.
  • Stir in the brown sugar, orange juice, zest and nutmeg.
  • In a separate bowl, toss the coconut with the sugar and cinnamon.
  • Press mashed potatoes around each marshmallow, creating a 2 to 3-inch diameter ball.
  • Roll the balls in the coconut mixture. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Watch carefully for the last few minutes of cooking; the expanding marshmallows can cause the potato balls to burst open.

I found that the sweet potato balls were a bit dry. I think I'll add some more butter next time.
