    1/3 cup evaporated milk
    1 teaspoon vanilla

    Put potatoes in a bowl and add the cinnamon and nutmeg. Mash well using a large fork or potato masher.
    Grab a small handful of potatoes and form into a ball (about the size of a tennis ball).
    Push a large marshmallow into the center of each potato ball.
    Roll each ball into cornflake crumbs until well coated and lay them side by side into a greased/sprayed cake pan.
    Cover and refrigerate while making the caramel sauce.

    Melt butter in a saucepan on low heat, add brown sugar and salt.

    Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
    Let sit for 5 minutes.
    Pour sauce over potato balls.
    Add mini marshmallows on top.
    Top with crushed walnuts or pecans.
