Comment préparer Paula Deen Sweet Potato Balls

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake 2 lbs of sweet potatoes until tender (about 45-60 minutes), then let them cool completely before peeling and mashing.
In a large bowl, mash the sweet potatoes. Add 1/3 cup packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons orange juice (optional: omit or reduce), 1/4 teaspoon orange zest (optional: omit), and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup shredded coconut, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
Place one large marshmallow (or 1/2 for less oozing) in the center of a heaping 1/4 cup of mashed sweet potato mixture.
Gently shape the mixture around the marshmallow, forming a 2 to 3-inch diameter ball.
Roll each ball in the coconut mixture until fully coated.
Place the coated balls in a nonstick muffin tin. (This recipe makes about 12 large balls)
Bake for 15-20 minutes, watching carefully during the last few minutes to prevent marshmallow leakage. Overbaked balls will burst.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
