I used fresh cooked sweet potatoes instead of canned. Absolutely fabulous rolls! Ate them with some Honeybaked Ham for breakfast. I will definitely make these again.

My family LOVED these! I had leftover cans of sweet potatoes and my kids were sick of sweet potato casserole... I tried these rolls and they've been requested again and again.

Interesting concept, but I didn't like these because they were dry and slightly crumbly. If you are going to take the time to make your own rolls, keep looking - and this from someone who has made a lot of breads and rolls over the years.

I loved these rolls. The texture is so tender, and they have a delicate flavor--not too sweet. I had 3 small sweet potatoes, so I cooked & mashed those instead of canned. I tried something different--I subbed eggnog for the water and took a tip from EVILBEE and used brown sugar and about 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg. I did add another three cups of flour (1/2 cup of WW) and still had to keep my finger tips floured while pinching off the dough. I got 27 nice sized rolls and a loaf of bread! Great idea for dinner rolls, Sherlie--thanks for sharing.

These are amazing! I made these yesterday (the day before Thanksgiving) and they still tasted wonderful and weren't dried out for today. I used one whole egg and 2 yolks to give them a nice yellow color in addition to the sweet potato and they were beautiful. My only complaint was that the dough was VERY sticky to work with. I ended up using about 6 cups of flour to the whole recipe, and the dough was still incredibly difficult to work with and shape into rolls. I ended up just dropping lumps of dough into the pan and baking them. They still came out great, and I got 3 dozen dinner sized rolls from the recipe.

I made this in my bread machine. The only change I made was 3 Tbsp brown sugar and 1 Tbsp white, and I added 1 tsp. ground nutmeg. I used sweet potaots I grew in my garden. I think those who said they were not as orange colored as they anticipated maybe used canned sweet potatos. Mine were very orange, absolutely gorgeous! I served with honey butter. This is a wonderful recipe and a great use for sweet potatos.

Everyone said it was a success. I used much more flour than called for like everyone else. I made small rolls for my son and it made about 3 dozen. My 3yo absolutely loves these rolls and nearly ate half of them over the weekend. They have the slightest hint of sweet potato, I wish there was more but it still is wonderful. Will definitely be making again and again. Thaks for sharing this great recipe!

My daughter's nutritionist suggested I make my daughter breads with vegetables. While "sweet potato" is not a vegetable I liked the nutritional value. I used three jars of baby food sweet potatoes and 3 total Tbsp of honey instead of sugar. Required about 3/4 cup flour more for the right consistency. Allowed to rise in muffin tins. Came out great. Will make again. Next time will use real mashed sweet potatoes.

Very light and fluffy inside, and dense and delightful on the outside. I could not taste the sweetpotato- it just made roll more like potato bread in texture. My mum loved these. They remind me of honey bread which we used to buy at the local bakery for school.

Excellent! These rolls are so moist and tender and the balance of flavor is perfect. They're just as good with beef stew as with apricot jam, and my 1 year old, who does not like bread, gobbles these up! I used 1 T. white sugar with the yeast and 3 T. brown sugar for the rest of the recipe. I also used mashed baked sweet potato instead of canned, butter instead of margarine, and I stirred in 2 c. whole wheat flour and then about 1 2/3 c. white flour and let the dough rise one more time before forming the rolls.

I used 3 fresh sweet potatoes that had been baked and mashed. The color of these rolls was beautiful. My family is avowed sweet potato haters so I didn't tell them what kind of rolls they were scarfing down at Thanksgiving dinner. It was thumbs up all around the table for the soft tasty rolls with none of them realizing they were eating the hated sweet potato. The recipe did require more flour..perhaps as much as a cup. I didn't measure..just added until I had a firm but still sticky dough. Also added 2 T of brown sugar. Used Pam on my hands while forming the rolls so the dough wouldn't stick. They rose perfectly and were gorgeous after they baked. Thanks Sherlie, loved this recipe and plan to use it again.

Yes, these rolls are tender, moist & the color is pretty, but if you are expecting a little more flavor (like perhaps sweet potato) then you may be disappointed. I too used almost 5 cups of flour instead of 3. If you are short on prep time, when you go ingredient shopping, substitue "Rapid Rise" yeast... Basically you'll mix all your dry ingredients together (including the yeast), and put the margarine in your saucepan with the water as you heat it (using this method you heat the water to 120-130 degrees). In the meantime, I pureed my cooked sweet potatoes & the eggs together in my blender. Once your water has reached the proper temp, add it to the dry ingredients, and then add your blended potato mixture. Once it's all incorporated, knead for about 5 minutes, then cover for 10 minutes and let rest. Then you're ready to shape your rolls. Of course, they need to rise before baking, but you've just saved yourself an hour because you didn't have to wait for it to rise the first time, then punch down, then shape, then rise again, etc, etc. They are quite tasty, but "subtle" is the word of the day. What this recipe needs is sweet potato concentrate. Hmmm...

I hadn't read other reviews before making these..but wish I had. I ended up using about double the amount of flour..and kept wondering what I'd done wrong...but that sounds like a common occurence. That being said..these were beautiful and delicious, smelled wonderful while baking..and were very soft and light as a feather. I did some in a cake pan..and another batch on a cookie sheet. If you bake them in the cake pan, plan on an extra 10 minutes or so in the pan..otherwise they'll be doughy.

These turned out incredibly soft. The sweet potato taste was rather subtle, but definitely there. I used brown sugar instead of white, and added a touch of nutmeg, plus extra flour (half a cup). Very tasty.
