Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350'. Bake potatoes until tender, then peel and mash. Stir in brown sugar, OJ, zest and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, toss coconut with sugar (if desired) and cinnamon. Press mashed potatoes around a marshemllow forming a ball 2-3" in diameter. Roll the balls in the coconut. Bake for 15-20 mins. Watch carefully for the last few min. of cooking, as the marshmellows can burst inside the balls.
