With Thanksgiving only days away, some consumers may be scrambling for last minute dinner ideas. This recipe is perfect for those who need a quick side dish for their [Thanksgiving feast](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-thanksgiving-dinner). The no-knead dinner rolls are easy to make and can be prepared in advance. Unlike traditional dinner rolls, this dough contains mashed sweet potatoes. The addition of yams gives the dish a slightly sweet flavor that perfectly complements other Thanksgiving dishes. The potatoes also give the buns a light and fluffy texture that makes them perfect for dinner or even post-Thanksgiving breakfast. If you're looking for an alternative to store-bought buns, these [sweet potato dinner rolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-potato-biscuit) are the perfect option. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **No-knead Dinner Rolls:** Opportunity for innovation in creating new variations and flavors of no-knead dinner rolls. - **Potato-based Recipes:** Potential for developing more recipes using potatoes as a main ingredient in various dishes. - **Quick Side Dishes:** Opportunity to create and market convenient, time-saving side dish options for busy consumers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Bakery:** Potential for bakeries to offer unique potato-based dinner rolls as a specialty item. - **Convenience Food:** Opportunity for convenience food companies to introduce pre-made sweet potato dinner rolls as a convenient side dish option. - **Home Meal Delivery:** Potential for home meal delivery services to include sweet potato dinner rolls as part of their holiday meal packages. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gluten-Free Dinner Rolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brown-serve-dinner-rolls.md) - [Stuffing-Flavored Dinner Rolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stuffing-seasoned-rolls.md) - [Versatile Bread Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baked-bread-made-simple.md) - [Bread Roll-Infused Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parker-house-rolls-with-salted-buttercream.md) - [Sweet Potato Souffles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maple-sweet-potato-souffle.md) - [Gluten-Free Sweet Rolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/briochestyle-sweet-rolls.md) - [Pre-Baked Mini Dinner Rolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/texas-roadhouse-mini-rolls-with-honey-cinnamon-glaze.md) - [Thanksgiving Dinner-Inspired Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-thanksgiving-doughnuts.md) - [Savory-Sweet Potato Sides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vanilla-bean-whipped-sweet-potatoes.md)
