Sweet Potato Balls
Ingredients
4 C. mashed sweet potatoes
(about 3 to 4 medium-sized potatoes)
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 C. brown sugar
2 bananas, peeled and cut into 1″ pieces
1/4 C. bread crumbs
8 pineapple rings (canned or fresh)
8 maraschino cherries
Cooking Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°. Mix together the mashed sweet potato, beaten egg, and brown sugar. Place about 1/2 C. of the mixture in the palm of your hand, and wrap it around a piece of the banana, forming a ball. Roll the sweet potato balls in the bread crumbs to coat evenly. Place the pineapple rings on a lightly greased baking sheet, and place a sweet potato ball in the center of each ring. Top with a maraschino cherry. Bake 20 minutes. Serves 8.
