Sweet Potato Balls

Description:

This is great for thanksgiving or any other day

Ingredients:

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

Instructions:

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.
