Ingredients

  Rockin’ Sweet Potato Rolls

•  4 tablespoons white sugar
•  1/2 cup cooked sweet potatoes (boil, drain, and mash)
•  1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees F)
•  3 tablespoons butter, softened
•  1/2 teaspoon salt
•  2 eggs
•  3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

1. Dissolve yeast, warm 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 9×13 inch pan. Allow to rise until doubled.
4. Bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 20 minutes. Serve warm.
