Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel and cube the potato. Place in a small pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, about 10 minutes.
Drain the potato, mash it thoroughly, and measure out 1/2 cup of mashed potato. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a small saucepan, combine the milk and butter and heat over low heat until the butter is just melted. Remove from the heat and let it cool to lukewarm.
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the lukewarm milk and butter mixture. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
Add the mashed potatoes and stir until combined.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until the mixture is smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook on medium speed.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball.
Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, spaced slightly apart. Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and brush the tops with a little melted butter, if desired. Cool slightly before serving.
