• Step 1
  Combine 1 cup of the warm water with the soy milk in a medium-size saucepan, then drop in the margarine. Heat over medium heat until the margarine is melted and the soy milk mixture has slightly scalded. Remove from the heat and allow to cool until lukewarm.
• Step 2
  In a measuring cup, mix together remaining 1/2 cup of warm water and the yeast. set aside for a few minutes until yeast is foamy.
• Step 3
  In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, and salt. Using your hands, mix the mashed potatoes into the flour to form a crumbly mixture, as if you were making a pastry dough. Stir in the yeast mixture and the soy milk mixture to form a soft dough; if the dough is very sticky, add a little flour, a few tablespoons at a time, until a firm, smooth dough forms. It's OK if there's bits of potato poking through the dough.
• Step 4
  Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured board and knead until elastic. Return the dough to the bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let rise for 2 hours or until doubled in size. When pressed with a finger the dough should spring back slowly.

  Whisk together the soy milk and potato starch in a small saucepan. Cook over a medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly. remove from the heat and cool before using.

• Step 9
  Place 3 balls together in each muffin cup Brush with glaze, sprinkle with poppy seeds, and very loosely cover with plastic wrap. set aside for 25-35 minutes, until rolls have doubled in bulk.
