Fried sweet potato treats with a marshmallow surprise.

Ingredients

1 cup crushed cornflakes
1 large egg
6 sweet potatoes, baked and mashed, (see Notes)
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
pinch ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 tablespoon sherry, or bourbon or vanilla extract
8 large marshmallows
canola oil, for frying

Instructions

Preheat oven to 200 º
Put the cornflake crumbs in a shallow dish or pie pan. Beat the egg with 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl. Set aside.
Combine the mashed sweet potatoes with the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, baking powder, flour, orange juice and sherry. Working with your hands, use the mixture to encase each marshmallow, forming a ball. Dip each ball in the egg wash and then roll in the crumbs. Refrigerate while preparing to fry.
Set a wire rack over newspaper or paper towels to cool and drain the balls after frying.
In a 2-quart saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat to 375 º.
Fry the balls one or two at a time for 3 to 4 minutes, turning as needed, until lightly browned. Remove with a spider or slotted spoon, and place the drained balls on the prepared rack and in the oven to keep warm while frying the remaining batches. Serve warm.

PCOS-Friendly Foods in This Recipe

This recipe contains the following foods that may benefit PCOS management: Cinnamon.

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly.
