Buffet Sweet Potato Balls

Buffet Sweet Potato Balls

2 1/2 cup mashed cooked sweet potatoes
1/2 tsp salt
Dash pepper
2 Tbsp butter, melted
1/3 cup honey
1 Tbsp butter or margarine
1 cup chopped pecans

Combine mashed sweet potatoes, salt, pepper and 2 tbsp butter. Chill for easier handling and shape into 8 balls. Heat honey and 1 tbsp butter in small, heavy skillet over high heat. When syrup is hot, remove from heat and add potato balls, one at a time. Spoon glaze over sweet potato balls, coating completely. Roll balls in chopped nuts. Place balls so they do not tough each other in a greased shallow casserole dish. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes.
