List of Ingredients

Mom's Thanksgiving Sweet Potato-Pineapple Balls


3 (40 ounce) cans yams, drained
1 (20 ounce) can crushed unsweetened pineapple, drained
3 cups corn flakes, whole flakes, may need more for coating
marshmallow (optional)


Recipe


Drain the yams and the pineapple VERY well.

Mash the yams and pineapple in a large bowl with your hands or a masher.

Roll into baseball size balls and cover in the corn flakes. They look nice with the flakes sticking up.

For those who like marshmallows, place a marshmallow or use some mini marshmallows, placed in the center of the ball and then cover with the corn flakes; or indent and add marshmallows.

Chill balls in the refrigerator to firm up.

Place balls on a foil lined cookie sheet and bake, at 350°, to heat through and until cereal starts to brown; about 25 minutes.

Easy to serve with a spatula.

Since a "ball" is a portion and you can adjust the size of the balls based on how many guests you have
