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

    Well folks, the judge saw the false accusations for what they are – A BIG MONEY GRAB and tossed the scammers lawsuit out of court! All the loyal Paula Deen supporters in the black community – including myself are vindicated also! And now Paula's gone viral in Asia and Latin America and her book is number one best selling. I just bought 10 copies for gifts. And Paula is appearing back on the Food Network on her son's new show! Amen! We love you Paula Deen!

    Paula is so nasty! "Be careful, and don't overcook them, cuz your balls will burst….and you know, there's nothing worse than busted balls."  "And if your balls burst, don't worry about it." LMAO. This cumming from the woman who taught her boys to rub their meat, hehehe.

    –I can't believe that Paula said this. I thought that she was a Christian woman

    Bursted?  Is that a proper word?
    I thought it was burst.

    Oh well, a little red neck lady doing the best she can.

    seems to me that this one ball makes up like 50% of the daily calorie intake  :/
