How to Make No Yeast Air Fryer Sweet Potato Rolls
Follow our easy step by step photos and details in the recipe box below. We’ve had many questions about using regular white potatoes for these rolls. It doesn’t work. We tried it twice and the white potato is just too day. When we added some milk and baking powder to the white potato mix, the rolls came out tough and hard. So it’s better to stick to sweet potatoes because of the softness of the potato.

Air Fryer 2-Ingredient Sweet Potato Rolls: No Yeast
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked sweet potato , mashed
- 1 cup self rising flour
- oil spray , for basket & rolls
Equipment
Instructions
- In bowl, combine sweet potato and flour. Stir with a fork until a dough ball forms. Make sure to scrape all the flour and sweet potato along the sides of the bowl.
- On a lightly floured surface, knead the soft dough ball for about 1 minute, or until smooth. Don’t keep adding too much flour to the dough or else it will be tough and hard. You want to keep the dough soft and pliable, so don’t over-knead it.
- Cut the dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll the dough between your hands to form 6 balls. Let the dough balls rest for about 30 minutes (they will also rise slightly).
- Spray air fryer basket or tray with oil. Gently place dough balls in the basket, evenly spaced apart. Lightly spray the tops of the dough balls with oil.
- Air Fry at 330°F/165°C for 10-14 minutes or until the rolls are cooked through. Allow to cool and serve with butter or as small slider or sandwich buns.
If your air fryer is preheated or if you are cooking multiple batches, you may need to reduce timing by a few minutes (unless preheating is called for in the recipe).
