1424 - Sweet Potato Balls#
(by Shirley McNevich)
5 or 6 large sweet potatoes
1 tsp. salt
1 beaten egg
1 TBSP flour
12 large size marshmallows
canola oil
1/4 to 1/2 cup Domino's dark brown sugar
2 TBSP orange juice
2 cups crushed corn flakes cereal
1/2 to 1 tsp. cinnamon
Peel the sweet potatoes. Boil the sweet potatoes in water with 1 tsp.
salt--cook until tender. Drain the sweet potatoes. Mash the sweet
potatoes with a potato masher. Add brown sugar, orange juice, and
egg to the potatoes--stir. Add flour--stir. Add cinnamon--stir. Scoop
out enough of the potato mixture to form a ball a little bigger than a
golf ball. Form the sweet potato ball around one of the marshmallows.
Place the corn flake crumbs into a bowl--roll the sweet potato ball in
the corn flakes until covered. Repeat with the rest of the sweet potato
mixture and marshmallows. In a skillet over medium heat add about
1" of canola oil. When oil is hot, add the sweet potato balls to the
skillet. Once bottoms are browned, turn them and brown the other
side. Place them on paper towels to drain before serving.
