Creating Sweet Potato Crescent Bites is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Sweet Potato: Peel and chop the sweet potato into chunks. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth.
3. Mix Filling: In a bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, shredded cheese, bacon bits (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
4. Roll Out Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles along the perforated lines.
5. Fill Dough: Place a generous spoonful of the sweet potato mixture at the wide end of each triangle. Roll them up, starting from the wide end towards the point, enclosing the filling.
6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the rolled bites on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and flaky.
8. Cool Slightly: Remove from the oven and let the bites cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet.
9. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle with fresh herbs before serving.
