Add yeast and stir to dissolve. Let stand for 5 minutes. Mash sweet potatoes in a small bowl, then add to yeast mixture with sugar, shortening, egg, and salt; beat with an electric mixer until combined. Beat in 3 cups flour, then add remaining flour, 1 cup at a time, until a stiff dough forms. Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, 6 to 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Punch dough down and divide into 3 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 12-inch circle, then cut each circle into 12 wedges. Brush wedges with melted butter and roll, starting from the wide ends, into crescent shapes. Place crescents, pointed-ends down, on greased baking sheets. Let rise until doubled in size, about 40 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 13 to 15 minutes. Remove from baking sheets to cool on wire racks.
