Instructions

Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Peel and chop sweet potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water for about 15 minutes until fork-tender.
Mash & Cool: Drain and mash sweet potatoes until smooth; let cool slightly.
Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar, then sprinkle yeast on top. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Mix Dough: In a large bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, melted butter, salt, and the activated yeast mixture.
Incorporate Flour: Gradually add flour until a soft dough forms; you may not need all the flour.
Knead Dough: Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for 5-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
First Rise: Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover it, and let rise in a warm place for about an hour or until doubled in size.
Shape Rolls: Punch down the dough gently and divide into equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place on greased baking sheets.
Second Rise: Cover rolls with a towel and let rise for another 30-45 minutes until puffy.
Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
