Ingredients

1 (40 ounce) can sweet potatoes, drained
0.25 cup butter
salt to taste
3 cups crushed cornflakes cereal
0.75 cup real maple syrup
10 large marshmallows

Instructions

Drain the sweet potatoes and place them in a large mixing bowl. Mash the potatoes thoroughly with butter or margarine. Add salt to your liking for enhanced flavor.
Shape the mixture by hand into balls approximately 3 inches in diameter. Roll each ball in crushed corn flakes, then arrange them in a greased 9x12 inch baking dish. Drizzle maple syrup evenly over all the balls for added sweetness.
Bake in a preheated oven at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 40 minutes. During the last fifteen minutes of baking, top each ball with a marshmallow to melt and create a gooey topping.
