Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Add the mashed sweet potatoes, melted butter, and salt. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Shape the Rolls
