Using slightly wet hands, form the sweet potato mixture into 1½ – 2 inch/7.5-10 cm balls. Place the balls on the lined baking sheet. Sprinkle lightly with ground flaxseed. Bake for 20-25 minutes until just firm to the touch but still slightly soft. Cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. Makes 10-12 balls.
