Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Mashed potatoes (unsalted, cooled)
- 0.5 cup Warm milk (around 110°F/43°C)
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for 5-7 minutes, until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, melted butter, and the egg. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
Add the yeast mixture to the potato mixture and stir gently to combine.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt to the bowl, mixing until a soft dough forms. If the dough is sticky, add an additional tablespoon of flour at a time until manageable.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball. Place the dough balls onto a greased or parchment-lined baking tray, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Cover the rolls loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise in a warm place for about 15-20 minutes, or until slightly puffed.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Remove the potato rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter or alongside your favorite meal!
