Sweet Potato Balls

4 large sweet potatoes
2/3 c. packed brown sugar
2 Tbsp. orange juice
1 tsp. orange zest
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
2 c. shredded coconut
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 large marshmallow per potato ball

Bake potatoes until tender, then peel and mash. Stir in brown sugar, orange zest and juice and nutmeg. In separate bowl, toss coconut with sugar and cinnamon. Press mashed potatoes around each marshmallow, creating a 2 to 3 inch ball. Roll in coconut mixture. Bake at 350o for 15 minutes. Watch last few minutes because marshmallows expand, causing balls to burst.
