Easy Potato Rolls

Ingredients

To make these scrumptious potato rolls, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 2 cups mashed potatoes (preferably freshly made)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 packet dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
  • 1/4 cup warm water (110°F to 115°F)
  • 5 to 6 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk, warmed

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your own batch of Easy Potato Rolls:

  1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, butter, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
  3. Add the frothy yeast mixture and warm milk to the potato mixture. Stir until combined.
  4. Gradually add in the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. You may not need all the flour, so add it gradually.
  5. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 to 7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
  6. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm spot until it doubles in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
  7. Once risen, punch down the dough and shape it into rolls. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish.
  8. Cover again and let the rolls rise for another 30 to 45 minutes or until they puff up nicely.
  9. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20 to 25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
  10. Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
