The secret is roasting the sweet potatoes - not boiling them. Roasting at 425 degrees F carmelizes the natural sugars & makes these rolls Mmmmmm good. The 1/4 cup white mashed potato ensures a great rise. Roast the sweet potatoes the pm before so they will be cool to handle. Adding flour until a workable soft somewhat sticky dough is achieved. I oil my hands when handling it. Time doesn't include roasting sweet taters. Ingredients:
2 cups mashed sweet potatoes, roasted |
1/4 cup white potato, cooked & mashed |
3 tablespoons butter, softened |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
1 egg, well beaten |
1 egg white, beaten with |
1 tablespoon water (optional) |
1/2 cup brown sugar |
2 teaspoons yeast |
3/4 cup water, lukewarm |
5 cups flour, about |
Directions:
1. Put yeast into water. Let sit undisturbed 5 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, add salt, well-beaten egg, sugar, butter and yeast mixture to potatoes.
3. Add flour until soft mildly sticky dough achieved and knead until smooth.
4. Cover in oiled bowl and let rise until double in size in a warm place.
5. Knead down again.
6. Roll into 24 balls and put into well-greased muffin tin or parchment lined cookie sheet, depending on how soft your dough is.
7. Let rise until double.
8. Bake at 350 degrees, about 20 minutes, until delicate brown.
9. Brush with beaten egg white 5 minutes before removing from oven if you desire 1 shiny crust.
10. Serve immediately or cool on racks for later eating.
