These rolls were very good. The dough was sticky and hard at times to form the rolls but I dipped the pieces in a little flour before forming rolls and that did the trick. Dispite the little trouble forming them, the rolls were very tastey and worth it. They were very easy to make. I reduced the sugar to 2 TBS and used butter instead of margarine. I also used fresh sweet potato. I will definitely make again as these were one of the best rolls I have ever tasted.

well, i was somewhat disappointed with how my rolls came out after reading everyone's reviews. mine turned out heavy and a little dry. the dough was sooooooo sticky, very frustrating! in total, i probably used about 4 1/2 c. of flour. i was expecting "flaky, light" rolls like everyone else. oh well, you win some, you lose some! but i'm not gonna try this one again.

These were tasty....my only complaint is that they were a bit dry. I would make them again and try to fix that.

Prepared the dough in my bread machine. I used 1/4 cup honey instead of the sugar. Microwaved and mashed my sweet potatos - used close to 2 cups. Added about 1/2 cup extra flour and then a few Tbs of orange juice when I decided the mix was a little dry. The dough was more sticky than I expected, but handled okay when I floured my hands and counter. They were AWESOME! 8 adults for dinner nearly wiped out the whole batch. I served with jambalya and the slightly sweet, light rolls were a perfect match to the spicy, heavy rice dish. I will absolutely make again - probably next for Easter dinner with ham.

Used the recipe for pizza dough! Cut it by 1/3 so I could use my 2-cup bread machine; used 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes and omitted the eggs. Dough was sticky, slightly runny, but poured it out onto pizza stone and spread it w/ a spatula. Added several spoonfuls of spaghetti sauce and 1 bag of rinsed, frozen veggies; as the whole thing was generally wet, I pre-baked it (just stuck it in the oven while the oven was preheating to 450 degrees). Once the crust had started to crisp just a bit, I added several handfuls of shredded mozzarella and returned to oven for about 20 minutes. Raised beautifully, tasted superb. Will definitely make again!

WOW! These rolls are very moist. You can't even taste the sweet potato so your kids will never know that they are good for you, you'll just have to explain the orange color. The dough is sticky and messy to work with but worth the trouble. I used half wheat flour and half white. very good.

this recipe is superb... you may have to allow a bit more time for the rolls to rise but they are fluffy and delightful... the sweet potato taste is not too overwhelming for those who do not like sweet potatoes... i've made these over and over!!

I was a little leary on how my family would like these, but I made them anyway! They were so yummy and moist! I did make a few changes though: 1. I used cinnamon sugar instread of regular. It gave it a little sweeter. flavor, almost like challah bread. 2.I added 1T. of wheat gluten. 3.I used all wheat flour. 4. My 13x9in pan could only fit 15 so that's how many I made. 5.After they came out, I brushed them with butter. Yum! Hannah

Great rolls served warm with maple butter! It did require a lot more flour--a great tip found by reading the reviews first.

Fresh from the oven with real butter these were close to heaven. I cheated and used the kitchenaid mixer so that actually they were a breeze to make. I also used fresh boiled sweetpotatos and more flour than called for. Much more, I ended up using close to six cups. Needless to say I ended up with nearly 40 good sized rolls, not 18, which was fine since I fed 16 people this thanksgiving. Really easy, really good, and even picky I-hate-sweet-potatos grandkids scarfed them down.

Good, but I think I would prefer it a little sweeter. These went well with honey.

I followed some of the other reviewers and used baked sweet potatoes. The rolls are very good, but not over-the-top great. What I like so much is that there is so little margarine used. I compared a lot of other roll recipes and they called for 1/2 cup of shortening!! So, these are healthful and pretty yummy, too. I will make them again. :)
