Combine sweet potatoes, 1/4 cup butter and milk in 2-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted and mixture is very warm (120°F to 130°F). Add to flour mixture. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until moistened. Add egg; beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, 3 minutes.
Stir in enough remaining flour by hand to make dough easy to handle. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic (6 to 9 minutes).
Place dough in greased bowl; turn greased-side up. Cover; let rise in warm place until double in size (about 30 minutes). (Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.)
Punch down dough; divide dough in half. Roll half of dough on lightly floured surface into 12-inch circle. Brush with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Cut into 12 wedges. Roll up each wedge tightly from wide end to point, forming crescent.
Place crescents, point-side down, onto greased baking sheet; curve slightly. Repeat with remaining dough. Cover; let rise until double in size (about 20 minutes).
Heat oven to 375°F . Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Brush warm rolls with melted butter, if desired. Nutrition Facts (1 roll): Calories: 130, Fat: 3.5g, Cholesterol: 15mg, Sodium: 130mg, Carbohydrates: 22g, Dietary Fiber: <1g, Protein: 3g
