Paula Deen Makes Sweet Potato Balls

Hey y'all! Aunt Peggy and I made the most sinfully delicious side dish for our Holiday dinner: Sweet Potato Balls. It's a fabulous recipe, and we had a wonderful time making it.

One trick I do when I'm preparing the dish is to overcook the sweet potatoes. It's something my Grandma did, and I like to honor her by doing it, too. Then I add the sugar, ground cinnamon, some freshly grated nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of orange zest (which I just LOVE to hear Peggy say!), and orange juice. Also, I like to put some flour in the mix to help mold the balls. Plus, it helps with the surprise in the middle. What surprise? You'll have to watch to find out!

Oh, and make sure you are watching that oven so you don't overcook 'em, cause there's nothing worse than burnt balls! ;)

Love and Best Dishes,

Paula

@ChuckHitler True, I'd want some privacy! Guess it depends on the person.

[ChuckHitler]

@2white2nerdii i dont doubt thatshe has an expensive kitchen, i just doubted she'd actually let a camera crew in her personal home so often! :P i'd probably have an extra kitchen just because of that. but i guess famous people, even paula, are okay with, or used to not having absolute privacy

@ChuckHitler A lot of chefs that make good money really do have large kitchens in their homes. :)

[ChuckHitler]

holy shit... Is that really her kitchen? I thought that was just some hoakey media gimmick that all chefs used... if that really is her kitchen, its BEAUTIFUL!!

@tobi87 haha it is kind of gross, but the way i see it: she's the one eating it.
