4 sweet potatoes, baked
1/2 c. brown sugar
orange zest
3 T orange juice
1 tsp nutmeg
8 large marshmallows
1 c. sweetened coconut flakes
1/4 c. sugar
1 T. cinnamon
Peel cooked sweet potatoes and mash with the brown sugar, orange zest, orange juice, and nutmeg. Be ready to get your hands dirty!
Scoop a palm-sized amount of the sweet potato mixture in your hand. Place the large marshmallow in the middle. Get enough of the potato mixture to form a ball with all of the marshmallow covered.
Roll sweet potato ball in a mixture of the coconut flakes, sugar, and cinnamon.
Place on a pan and bake at 375 for 5-10 minutes. Just long enough to heat the potato and to melt the marshmallow. Don't cook too long.
(I got this recipe from Paula Dean's Thanksgiving special. These were so yummy! And a nice change from the standard sweet potato w/marshmallows on top.)
