Sweet Potato Bundles Recipe
If you are looking for something different than the same old baked sweet potatoes, try this twist. Coconut, orange zest, and marshmallows jazz things up perfectly as long as you have a bit of a sweet tooth as I do.
Sweet Potato Bundles
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 2 cups shredded coconut sweetened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 large marshmallow per sweet potato bundle
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Bake the potatoes until tender, then peel and mash them. Stir in the brown sugar, orange juice, zest and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, toss the coconut with the sugar and cinnamon. Press mashed potatoes around each marshmallow, creating a 2 to 3-inch diameter ball. Roll the balls in the coconut mixture. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Watch carefully for the last few minutes of cooking; the expanding marshmallows can cause the potato balls to burst open.

This is very very bad but WOW….they look so so good!
This sounds delicious, I love Paula Deen recipes! I’ve never heard of putting coconut into sweet potatoes!
I’ve made these for years. The sweet potatoes are easier to handle if refrigerated a few hours or even overnight. I first roll them in Graham Cracker Crumbs, then coconut… Lastly I sprinkle chopped Pecans over the top before baking.
Thank you so much for the tip!
