Paula Deen Makes Sweet Potato Balls
Hey y’all! Aunt Peggy and I made the most sinfully delicious side dish for our Holiday dinner: Sweet Potato Balls. It’s a fabulous recipe, and we had a wonderful time making it.
One trick I do when I’m preparing the dish is to overcook the sweet potatoes. It’s something my Grandma did, and I like to honor her by doing it, too. Then I add the sugar, ground cinnamon, some freshly grated nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of orange zest (which I just LOVE to hear Peggy say!), and orange juice. Also, I like to put some flour in the mix to help mold the balls. Plus, it helps with the surprise in the middle. What surprise? You’ll have to watch to find out!
Oh, and make sure you are watching that oven so you don’t overcook ’em, cause there’s nothing worse than burnt balls! 😉
Love and Best Dishes,
Paula
