Recipe: Sweet Potato Balls Recipes (2)

Kris: Here are two different ways. The second does not call for the marshmallows inside, but they would be easy to add.

Sweet Potato Balls

1-1/3 cups cooked sweet potatoes, mashed
8 large marshmallows
1/2 cup cornflakes, finely crushed
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1 Tbs. plus 1 tsp. skim milk
1 Tbs. plus 1 tsp. unsalted butter

Preheat oven to 400 F. Mold a spoonful of the sweet potatoes around each marshmallow and roll in cornflake crumbs. Place
in a shallow baking dish. Combine brown sugar, milk and butter in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil and pour over the balls.
Bake , uncovered, 15 minutes.
