Ingredients
- 2 packages of yeast (1/4-ounce packages)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water (110 to 115 degrees)
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 3 eggs, one of which is beaten together with 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 3 to 3 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup cooked mashed sweet potatoes
Directions
In a bowl combine yeast with 1 tablespoon of sugar and warm water, let proof for 5 minutes.
Add remaining sugar, butter, salt, and 2 of the eggs to the yeast mixture, stir to blend well. Stir in the flour, 1 cup at a time, and then stir in the sweet potato.
Turn out onto a floured surface and knead for 2 to 3 minutes adding only enough flour to prevent it for sticking to the board. When the dough is smooth and springy, shape it into a ball. Place in an oiled bowl, and coat the dough completely with oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let sit in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
Punch down the dough and shape into 2 dozen golf ball sized balls. Place them on a buttered cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Cover and let rise until doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Brush the rolls with the beaten egg and cream mixture.
Bake for 20 minutes.

These rolls are great but you do have to be careful and pay attention to them. They tasted amazing but designate one person to have full attention to them. My aunt kept swearing I bought them from a bakery, they were that good!

When made correctly, these rolls are anything but common. Totally, jaw dropping awesome. Perfect with a nice bowl of soup, a turkey or ham dinner.

These are my favorite go-to rolls for Thanksgiving AND Christmas . . . I bake them in a 9X13 cake pan and place them a little closer together so that they are just starting to touch when they go into the oven . . . then they are pull aparts in the bread basket. I've made them with canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling! when I've forgotten to pick up sweet potatoes and they are just as delicious!
One reviewer said that their's turned out like "biscuits" . . . I'm guessing there may have been a problem with their yeast.
