Delicious and a huge hit at dinner tonight. Cut out half the sugar and ended up (as others have commented) using 4+ cups of flour. Served warm with butter...to die for! Can't wait to slice and toast one for breakfast..maybe a bit of ham would go nice with it!

These turned out really well! The recipe should read 5-6 cups flour instead of 3. Also, makes more than indicated. I made 18 large rolls. Next time I will make them smaller. I used fresh yams, boiled them till soft, removed the skins and added about 1T. of brown sugar. I used my Kitchenaid with the dough hook instead of kneading by hand and it was a breeze. Great flavor and consistency. Everyone loved them.

My sister-in-law gave me this same recipe and it is fantastic. The only difference is after the punching down and resting step, I then divide the dough into 3 equal size balls. Roll these balls out into a fairly thin circular shape, use a pizza cutter and cut in 12 equal wedges. Roll the wedges up from the longer side down to the point, let them double in size, about 40 mins., and then bake as directed. Because they make so many, I put them in smaller freezer bags after I've baked them. When I want to use them, simply let them defrost for approximately an hour, place on a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake for about 10 mins. at 300º.

This is a delicious bread. I made a loaf instead of rolls and it was huge. Will make rolls and a loaf next time. Thanks for the heads up about the flour. It took quite a bit more. Will make this again many times, I'm sure.

It was probably just me--they did not turn out. I will have to try again...maybe?

Very easy recipe to make. You will use more flour than needed because the dough is very sticky. The taste is wonderful. What could possibly be better than homemade rolls. I did use regular sweet potatos and not canned. It takes about 3 small ones to equal the 1-1/2cups canned. I too added some brown sugar to the potatos about 2T, next time I think I'll add about 1/4cup. My rolls were about the size of normal dinner rolls and so this recipe made 24 good size rolls for me. I would not recommend skipping the step on oiling the pan even if your pan is nonstick. It really needs the oil. This recipe has a wonderful taste. The aroma of the bread rising and baking is out of this world, but I think that on all homemade breads. I paired this with Angels Beef Stew recipe.

Bless You Sherlie, for sharing this wonderful roll recipe !!! My 3 children loved these. I made a test batch before Thanksgiving and they loved them. They even put some back for later...and they ate them as snacks and the 3 year old even wanted them for breakfast !!! My 12 year old had some friends over and she made them try them.....and then I was asked for the recipe by the girls to give to THEIR mothers !!!! Its a wonderful recipe !!! I even cheated and it was still great! I used my Kitchen Aid as the mixer and kneader and they were so light and fluffy in texture! I used fresh sweet potatoes and boiled them myself, then mashed them instead of using canned as my family isn't real big on canned foods in general. Freaks...but anyway, with using fresh sweet potatoes the color is just gorgeous! I was worried about the color turning the kids off, but it didn't. Or my husband for that matter. He devoured them as fast as the kids did ! This is now an often requested recipe at our house...& its a healthy one too! Wonderful way to get the BetaCarotene in your kids without a fight! Great recipe !! Thanks !

I am "new" in the kitchen, and this was the first bread I have ever made. It was so SIMPLE and easy and they came out GREAT. Because I made candied sweet potatoes also, I used fresh ones, and used the water that I boiled them in in this recipe. I took them for Thanksgiving, and everyone was impressed I actually made them myself! It seems I had to add a bit more flour than the recipe called for because it was too sticky but other than that they are perfect!

I forgot to keep the sweet potato water, but these came out great anyway, only I did some rolls and some of the dough in loaf pans. Everyone loved this bread!! Very very good.

My friends and family absolutely love these rolls. I've made these a few times already, and the only thing I changed was to add some brown sugar and cinnamon to the sweet potatoes. They're only slightly sweet, so it complements just about any main entree. Superb!

I made these for my family this Thanksgiving and they were a big hit! I pureed the potato in an electric mini-chopper and it worked fine. I think this will be a standard recipe for me! I added a bit extra sweet potato than called for and they tasted wonderful. The color is beautiful!

Wonderful recipe! I used yams (cooked and mashed) and I substituded 2 c. whole wheat flour for 2 c. of the white flour. I threw it all in my bread machine without too much trouble. Works fine for a loaf of bread too.

We loved these rolls and will make them every Thanksgiving from now on. My one year old could not get enough. Very moist and great flavor. I used 1/2 cup extra sweet potato (fresh).

I loved these although I HATE sweet potatoes. I only used 1 cup of sweetpotato (left over from a pie I made for my fiance). He immediately sent the recipe to his mom.
