Amt.	Measure	Ingredient



5	sweetpotato, 5" long	Sweetpotato
2/3	cup, packed	brown sugar, light
2	teaspoons	cinnamon, ground
1/2	teaspoon	nutmeg, ground OR 2-3 generous grates of FRESH nutmeg

Steps

Sequence	Step

1	Preheat oven to 350° F.
2	Bake the potatoes until tender, then peel and mash.
3	Stir in the brown sugar, 1 tsp. cinnamon, vanilla (vanilla butter and nut flavoring is ACTUAL ingredient, but currently not in this database), orange juice, ½ C butter and nutmeg.
4	In a separate bowl, toss the pecans with the sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon.
5	Press mashed potatoes around each marshmallow - centering the marshmallow - creating a 3-4 inch diameter ball.
6	Roll the balls in the pecan mixture and place on a cookie sheet.
7	Bake for 15-20 min. (Watch carefully for the last few minutes of cooking; the expanding marshmallows can cause the potato balls to burst open.)
8	Drizzle 1 Tbsp. butter over each ball before you place in the oven OR ½ way thru the cooking, 7-8 min. OR immediately after you take them out of the oven. Your choice.
9	You should let the balls rest for a couple of minutes before serving to let the marshmallow cool a bit. Serve hot-warm.
