Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Russet potatoes
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Milk
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cup Fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 large Egg
- 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into small chunks. Boil them in a pot of salted water until fork-tender, about 12-15 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and mash them until smooth. Measure out 1 cup of mashed potatoes and set aside to cool slightly.
In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Add the milk and warm it gently until it is just lukewarm (about 100-110°F). Remove from heat.
In a small bowl, combine the lukewarm milk mixture, yeast, and sugar. Stir and let the mixture sit for 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, the yeast mixture, flour, salt, chopped chives, and one egg. Mix until the dough comes together.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is soft and smooth.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place them onto a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, about 1-inch apart.
Cover the rolls loosely with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30-35 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining egg and 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash for a golden, shiny finish.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
While the rolls are still warm, brush them with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter or your favorite spread!
