#2761 - Coated Sweet Potato Balls

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 large can sweet potatoes (drained)
a bag of large campfire sized marshamallows
1 can of bread crumbs (plain or seasoned)
1 stick butter (melted)
salt and pepper (to your taste)

In a bowl add the drained sweet potatoes--mash them with a potato masher. Add salt and pepper to your taste--stir well. Place the bread crumbs in a bowl. Take one marshmallow at a time, cover it in sweet potato mixture and form it into a ball. Roll the ball into the bread crumbs and place the ball into a greased 9 x 13 baking dish. Repeat until all of the sweet potato mixture is used. When placing them in the baking dish make sure they are not touching each other. Carefully pour the melted butter over all of the sweet potato balls. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes or until the sweet potato balls are browned.
