Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Peel the skin off the sweet potatoes and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Next, boil the sweet potatoes for about 40-45 minutes or until tender. If you prefer not to boil the sweet potatoes, you can bake the potatoes whole as well.
2 Cups Sweet potatoes
Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, mash the flesh in a bowl until it's smooth and lump-free.
Gradually add the self-rising flour to the mashed sweet potatoes, mixing well after each addition. Continue until the mixture forms a soft dough. You may need a bit less or more flour depending on the moisture content of your sweet potatoes.
2 Cups Self-rising flour
Dust a clean surface with some flour and turn the dough out onto it. Knead the dough lightly for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and pliable.
Roll the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball, and place them on a nonstick spray baking sheet lined with parchment paper or baking dish. You can flatten them slightly with your hand if you prefer flatter rolls.
Bake the sweet potato rolls in the preheated oven for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. They are best enjoyed with warm and with butter!
