Mom'S Thanksgiving Sweet Potato-Pineapple Balls - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 (40 ounce) cans yams, drained
1 (20 ounce) can crushed unsweetened pineapple, drained
3 cups corn flakes, whole flakes, may need more for coating
marshmallows (optional)

Preparation

Drain the yams and the pineapple VERY well.
Mash the yams and pineapple in a large bowl with your hands or a masher.
Roll into baseball size balls and cover in the corn flakes. They look nice with the flakes sticking up.
For those who like marshmallows, place a marshmallow or use some mini marshmallows, placed in the center of the ball and then cover with the corn flakes; or indent and add marshmallows.
Chill balls in the refrigerator to firm up.
Place balls on a foil lined cookie sheet and bake, at 350\u00b0, to heat through and until cereal starts to brown; about 25 minutes.
Easy to serve with a spatula.
Since a \"ball\" is a portion and you can adjust the size of the balls based on how many guests you have!
