   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes with the salt and melted butter. If using egg yolks, add them to the mixture as well. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

2. Portion and Fill:

   • Divide the sweet potato mixture into 12 equal portions, each portion being approximately 1/3 cup.
   • Mold each portion into a circle and flatten it slightly. Place one marshmallow in the center of each portion.

3. Encase the Marshmallows:

   • Mold the sweet potato mixture around each marshmallow, ensuring the marshmallow is completely enclosed. Leave a small opening on top of each ball to allow steam to escape during baking.

4. Coat with Cereal Flakes:

   • In another bowl, combine the cereal flakes with melted Crisco shortening. Roll each sweet potato ball in the cereal flakes until fully coated.

5. Freeze the Puffs:

   • Place the coated sweet potato puffs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure they are spaced apart to prevent sticking. Freeze the puffs until firm, approximately 1-2 hours.

6. Bake to Perfection:

   • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Grease a shallow baking dish with a small amount of Crisco shortening.
   • Remove the frozen sweet potato puffs from the freezer and transfer them to the prepared baking dish.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once baked, allow the Sweet Potato Marshmallow Puffs to cool for a few minutes before serving.
   • Serve them warm as a delightful snack or dessert option.

Notes:

• These puffs must be frozen before baking to maintain their shape and prevent the marshmallow from melting too quickly.
• Do not defrost the puffs before baking, as they are best baked directly from the freezer for optimal texture and flavor.

Transform your leftover mashed sweet potatoes into a delectable treat with these Sweet Potato Marshmallow Puffs. Enjoy the perfect balance of sweetness and savory goodness in every bite!
