Be sure to watch the flour. I did this in the bread machine and had to add a good deal of flour. They came out so good that the kids couldn't stop eating them!!
Makes 1 1/2 dozen rolls

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
4 tablespoons white sugar
1/2 cup mashed cooked sweet potato
1/2 cup water the sweet potato was cooked in
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour (may need up to 1/2 cup more)

1 Dissolve yeast, warm sweet potato water, and 1 tablespoon sugar in a mixing bowl. Let stand 5 minutes.

2 Add remaining sugar, sweet potato, butter or margarine, salt, and slightly beaten eggs. Stir to mix well. Stir in 3 cups of flour. Turn out on a lightly floured surface. Knead 2 to 3 minutes, adding just enough of remaining flour to prevent sticking. Do not knead too heavily; when smooth, shape into a ball. Place in an oiled bowl, and turn to coat the surface. Cover, and let raise about 1 hour or longer.

3 Punch down, and allow dough to rest for 2 minutes. Divide into 16 to 20 balls, and place on a greased cookie sheet or in a 9 X 13 inch pan. Allow to rise until doubled.

4 Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 12 to 20 minutes. Serve warm.

NOTES : Need to add more flour, at least 1/2 cup if not more.

Happy Baking,

Betsy
