SWEET POTATO BALLS... Nora Jean Luke Brewer

Boil sweet potatoes, mash, add hot milk and beat as you would for mashed potatoes. When cool enough to handle, form a ball of the potato around a regular size marshmallow. Roll in beaten egg and crushed corn flakes. Arrange on a cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
