    Surprise marshmellow in the middle was, well a sweet surprise.

    Fun alternative to the old-school pile of potatoes. I was worried about the possible explosion so I tested one in the oven to get the test time down..you can tell when they are about to explode because you will see a bit of a crack opening. For my oven, it was 13 minutes.

    Couple of tips:
    Wet hands for each ball roll.

    Take handful of coconut mixture and press into balls..rolling does not work well or give enough coverage

    We use Vietnamese Cinnamon (can find in spice stores. You will notice it is more sweet aromatic. I use for all cooking and we find it disperses more fully throughout your baked goods, giving them cinnamon-through-and-through flavor

    You could serve for dessert--they are fun and sweet

    These were just ok. Way too sweet for me. I've had better sweet potato dishes. Will not make again.

    Great Recipe and the Biggest Hit for Thanksgiving. It was beyond tasty and the coconut gives it a nice surprise. I baked the sweet potatoes the night before which made the prep so much easier. Love Paula!

    The taste was great but the balls burst and the marshmellow oozed out. This year i am going to try and mix the potato, coconut, and pecans together and top with mini marshmellows.

    These are wonderful!! My husband won't eat any other sweet potato dish. I leave out the zest...nobody misses it. I will definitely try the gingerbread marshmallows if I can find them.
