Sweet Potato Clover Leaf Rolls

1. In a small bowl or cup, soften the yeast in the lukewarm water. Set aside.
2. Put the milk in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat. Allow it to come almost to a boil but do not boil. Remove from heat.
3. In a large bowl combine milk, sugar, 1/4 cup of the butter and salt. Then cool to lukewarm.
4. Add the sweet potato and 1 cup of flour. Beat the mixture until combined,
5. Beat in the softened yeast and egg.
6. Gradually add the remaining flour to form a soft dough, beating well. If it is too sticky, add more flour.
7. Cover and let it rise until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
8. Melt remaining butter and pour 1 teaspoon into each well of the muffin tin. You will need two 12-count standard size muffin tins. This recipe will make two dozen rolls!
9. Pull off ping-pong ball sized pieces of the dough and roll each into a smooth ball. Dip into the butter in a muffin well and flip over. Fit three balls into each well. Repeat with all of the dough.
10. Let the rolls rise for another 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 F.
11. Bake at 400 F for 10-12 minutes.
