Sweet Potato Rolls

2 TBSP instant yeast
1/2 c. sugar
6 to 8 cups all-purpose flour
1 c. mashed sweet potato
1 c. warm water
6 tbsp melted butter
2 tsp salt
4 eggs, slightly beaten

I use a stand mixer, but I suppose you can do this by hand or in your bread machine on the dough cycle. Place all ingredients in the bowl of the mixer (use only 6 cups flour to begin). Mix well. add more flour as needed until it pulls away from the side of the bowl.
Turn out onto a floured surface and knead a bit more flour in if you need to. Until it's smooth. Shape into a ball and place in a big bowl that's been sprayed with Pam.  Turn dough ball to coat. Cover and Let rise until double (about an hour).
Punch down and divide into 24 rolls. Place on a greased cookie sheet. Allow to rise until double.
Bake at 375 for 15 to 20 min. or until golden brown.
