Family Recipe Friday - Granny Bynum's Sweet Potato Balls

Flora Jane McIver Bynum

Granny B's recipe for Sweet Potato Balls brings back such wonderful memories for me.  Every time we made the trip to Mississippi to visit my grandparents we arrived to find a platter of these delicious treats waiting for us.

I have only attempted to make them once and while they tasted great, they certainly didn't look like Granny B's.  The trick is knowing when to scoop them out of the deep fat.  If you wait too long they will burst open.

Add the following:
1/2 Gallon Milk
