Mississippi Sweet Potato Rolls Recipe


Mississippi Sweet Potato Rolls Recipe
These rolls are gold and light as a feather and have a tasty, but not overpowering, flavor. We developed the recipe for a caterer who was doing a party for an investor who had just purchased a sweet potato farm. These are soft rolls.

A fav veg of mine for sure. I can't wait to try these. Thanks for sharing this with us all.


I took your recipe and made these rolls for a catering event. You're right, these are beautiful, gold and very light. Nobody could decide what gave them that color and i didn't tell. Wonderful recipe.


This sounds delicious. I love baking with yeast.
