do the mashed potato roll
(1 rating)
My mom (Nanny Darling) handed down this recipe to me. My hubby, children, and guests have enjoyed these for years. The delightful part for cooks with this recipe is that the dough may be made ahead of time, for any occasion you want this special treat of homemade rolls with dinner. The dough can be left in your fridge for up to 5 days! You can substitute sweet potatoes for white and instant for regular potatoes. Now ladies and gents, how sweet is this?

1Wash, peel, and boil potatoes. Once they are fork-tender, drain the potatoes. Mash them to make 1 cup of mashed potatoes. Set aside to cool.

-
3Add the butter and stir until it is melted. Set aside to cool.
-
4Warm 1/2 cup water (not hot). Empty 1 pkg of yeast into the warm water and mix. Set aside and let stand until bubbly.
-
5When the yeast water and milk mixture is bubbly, add it to the lukewarm milk mixture. Then beat in the beaten eggs.

6For the next step, you may use your electric mixer with bread hooks or mix by hand. In the mixing bowl, add the milk mixture, 1 cup flour, and 1 cup mashed potatoes. Mix until smooth.
-
7Add a little flour at a time.
-
8Keep adding flour until a sticky ball forms.
-
9Turn the dough out on a well-floured board. Knead for 10 minutes mixing in a bit of extra flour until your dough is smooth and elastic.
-
10Place the dough into a large oiled bowl. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

11After 1 hour, turn the dough out and divide in half. Each half will make 12 rolls.

12Form 12 rolls from each half and place rolls in an oiled 9x13 pan. Cover and let rise until they double in size. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
-
13Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes.
