Amish Potato Dinner Rolls
Description
These Amish Potato Dinner Rolls start with proofing instant yeast in warm water with a bit of sugar to activate it. The dough mixes mashed potatoes, flour, sugar, salt, eggs, and butter for richness. Using a stand mixer with a hook attachment helps develop smooth, elastic dough that no longer sticks to the bowl.
The dough rises in a warm place until nearly doubled, then is divided into 16 balls arranged tightly to bake for soft sides and tender texture. A second rise before baking improves lightness. Baking results in golden, soft rolls with a creamy mashed potato undertone.
These rolls make excellent dinner accompaniments due to their soft crumb and slight sweetness. They can be served warm with butter or alongside soups and stews.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup water about 115 degrees F, warm
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast

- Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray or butter.
