hey y'all out there welcome to get
0:02
cooking with poine it's the holiday
0:05

0:09
fabulous recipe with y'all oh I got my
0:12
Aunt Peggy here and we're having a
0:15
wonderful time today in the kitchen now
0:17
a Peggy usually makes a sweet potato
0:19
soua but I've got a little something
0:22
different for her in mind with this dish
0:25
we're going to be making sweet potato
0:38
all right well what I'm going to need
0:40
from you a Peggy uh I overbake the
0:43
potatoes because I love to cook them the
0:46
way Grandma used to cook them I'll take
0:49
these let them get cold I'll actually
0:51
put them in my refrigerator I'll slice
0:53
them I'll sprinkle them with sugar and
0:56
fry them up in my cast iron skillet and
0:59
there's nothing nothing better than a
1:01
fried sweet potato but if you'll get
1:03
started now on those four potatoes for
1:05
me um we're going to put a lot of
1:09
flavors into these balls I am taking the
1:14
skin off of these potatoes and uh
1:16
getting ready to mix in with the other
1:18
ingredients M it's so delicious all
1:21
right is that four potatoes we need one
1:23
more okay well let's get one more done
1:26
and um I can do this one or two ways I
1:29
can do do it by hand with a potato
1:31
masher or I can do it with an electric
1:34
mixer a little handheld mixer and I
1:37
think that's what I'm going to do all
1:39
right you think that's enough mhm all
1:41
right I'm going to start by adding to my
1:45
four potatoes I'm going to start out
1:48
adding 2/3 a cup of brown sugar now
1:51
while I'm measuring this out I'm going
1:53
to add a half a teaspoon of fresh brown
2:01
if y'all have never used fresh
2:04
nutmeg do it it's so easy they come in
2:08
little jars at your grocery store in the
2:10
spice department and it's just a little
2:13
nut and I'm just going to need about a
2:15
half a teaspoon of this y cuz remember
2:18
nutmeg is one of those spices that's
2:21
really strong we're going to need one
2:24
teaspoon of orange zest oh y' it you did
2:30
you get that get so tickled at my aun
2:33
Peggy y'all because she has the hardest
2:36
time saying zest it comes out just and
2:40
she said clown she took the F she you
2:44
took the fun out of that all right we're
2:47
going to need about a teaspoon of orange
2:50
zest so just that simple we've got our
2:54
ingredients together baked sweet
2:55
potatoes brown sugar nutmeg Orange zest
3:00
and orange juice so just a couple of
3:04
couple of tablespoons and we can kind of
3:06
eyeball that now I'm going to share with
3:09
y'all a little trick that is not a part
3:12
of the recipe I have found that
3:14
sometimes uh my sweet potatoes are so
3:18
wet that they need a little something to
3:21
help bind them together so I actually
3:24
put a couple of tablespoons of flour
3:25
into this and that helps me to mold them
3:29
because there's a surprise in the center
3:31
of these sweet potato balls
3:33
y'all can't wait big fat
3:36
marshmallow in goes my flour why don't
3:40
you go around there and get our mixer
3:42
plugged in it Peggy okay all right so if
3:45
you'll just whip that up watch
3:49
out these look good they look nice and
3:52
thick all right now there's one thing
3:55
that I want to warn y'all about your
3:56
sweet potato balls you have to be
3:58
careful and not over cook them cuz your
4:02
burst and you know there's nothing worse
4:04
than busted balls all right so our sweet
4:08
potatoes are ready now what I'm going to
4:11
do at this point y'all is mix together
4:14
some coconut a little cinnamon all right
4:18
now I'm going to add a half a cup of
4:20
sugar and we're going to roll our balls
4:23
in the coconut and cinnamon mixture now
4:26
we've got a prepared cookie sheet we've
4:29
got some parchment paper on it so our
4:31
balls won't stick and we've got our big
4:35
marshmallows so what we're going to do
4:37
is just take out a scoop you can make
4:40
your balls as big as you want to I'm
4:43
kind of like like a medium ball and I'm
4:47
enclose that Marshmallow with my sweet
4:50
potato stuff all right now into the
4:53
coconut they go just going to kind of
4:55
press them in it and it's so good what
4:57
do you want I want a FR one I want you
5:00
to we're going to put these in our oven
5:03
at 350° y'all and we're going to cook it
5:06
for 15 or 20 minutes like I said this is
5:09
one of those uh recipes that you'll want
5:12
to keep an eye on all right in the oven
5:18
yes and these are going to be just
5:22
beautiful on our Christmas table now in
5:25
Peggy and I have removed our sweet
5:28
potato balls from the oven y'all I want
5:30
you to get in here and look so I can
5:33
show you what happens if you overcook
5:36

5:40
that that bursted this one turned out
5:44
perfect but you know what even
5:48
