- Reviews 2
Ready In: 1 hr 50 mins
Serves: 4-6
Yields: 8 balls
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 2⁄3 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1⁄2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 2 cups shredded coconut, sweetened
- 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 large marshmallows, per potato ball
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees 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.
