Perfect Potato Rolls
Description
These Perfect Potato Rolls start by activating quick-rise yeast in warm water with sugar, then mixing in melted butter, additional sugar, warm milk, salt, mashed potatoes, eggs, and flour. The dough is kneaded until just sticky but manageable, then left to rise in a greased bowl until doubled. After punching down, it’s divided into 24 pieces, shaped into balls, and arranged in baking dishes for a second rise. Baking at 400°F for about 15 minutes yields soft rolls with a light crust and fluffy, tender interior enhanced by the mashed potatoes.
The rolls are best served warm but remain good at room temperature. Their slightly sweet flavor and soft texture make them appealing for a variety of meals.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup water warm
- .5 oz quick rise yeast two .25 oz packets
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 cup butter melted & cooled slightly
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup milk warm
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup potato warmed, mashed
- 2 egg
- 5-6 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Sprinkle yeast and sugar onto warm water. Stir to dissolve. Let stand until yeast bubbles form, about 5 minutes. Pour into large mixing bowl.
- Stir in butter, sugar, warm milk and salt.
- Add in mashed potatoes, eggs and 3 cups flour. Stir until dough becomes thick and hard to mix.
- Knead dough adding in more flour as needed until dough is slightly sticky but won't stick to your hands (for me, its between 4 1/2-5 cups).
- Grease large bowl with a little oil or melted butter, place dough into bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise for 1-1 1/2 hours until doubled in size.
- Punch down dough and divide into 24 equal pieces. Roll into small balls and place into greased glass baking dishes. Cover rolls with plastic wrap and let rise another 1-1 1/2 hours until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and bake rolls 15 minutes (except, check them after 10!) Rolls are best served warm, but are still great at room temperature. Store in air tight containers.
