Ingredients
- 1 pkg sweet potato patties, Pictsweet brand
- 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- ¾ cup butter, melted
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ⅔ cup Sprite lemon lime soda
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Allow the sweet potato patties to defrost at room temperature for a few minutes. Slice each one in half.
- Unroll crescent dough. Cut each triangle into two smaller triangles. You will end up with 32 dough triangles from the two packages.
- Place a sweet potato slice on the short side of each triangle and roll up to the point, wrapping dough around each sweet potato slice.
- Arrange crescent-wrapped sweet potatoes in the greased pan.
- In a medium bowl, stir together melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Pour the mixture over sweet potato dumplings.
- Pour the Sprite in the center and along the edges of the pan. (Do not pour directly on the dumplings.)
- Bake uncovered 33-36 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
- In place of Sprite, you can use 7-Up, Mountain Dew, or similar lemon-lime sodas. I do not recommend using diet soda in this recipe.
- Crescent dough sheets can be used in place of crescent roll dough. Cut each sheet of dough into 16 squares and then roll up as directed.
- If you can't find the sweet potato patties, you can make your own by slicing fresh sweet potatoes and parboiling them for about 10 minutes to slightly soften them.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
