Ingredients

• 3 cups peeled and chopped sweet potatoes
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
• 8 large marshmallows
• 1/2 cup crushed corn flake cereal

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add sweet potatoes and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash with butter, sugar, milk, salt and lemon zest. Shape mixture into balls, with a marshmallow in the center of each. Roll in cereal crumbs and place in prepared dish.
