1/4 c. sugar
1 T active dry yeast

1 c. sweet potatoes (cooked and mashed)
1 c. milk

1 large egg beaten

Place in greased bowl, turn to grease both sides, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise until doubled in bulk. Punch down dough and divide it in half. Roll each half of dough on lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle.

Brush each circle with 1 T meltedbutter. Cut into 12 wedges and tightly roll up each wedge from wide end to point. Place crescent rolls, point-side down, on greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise until doubled. Bake in preheated oven at 375 degrees until golden brown, 12-15 min.
