Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Russet potatoes (peeled and diced)
- 2 cups Water
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 2 Eggs (large, room temperature)
- 4.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Milk (lukewarm, about 100°F/38°C)
- 2 tablespoons Melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
Place the peeled and diced potatoes into a medium saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, about 10-15 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and mash until smooth. Measure out 1 cup of mashed potato and let it cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, softened butter, sugar, salt, eggs, milk, and the instant yeast. Mix until well blended.
Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but still manageable.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a large, greased bowl, turning once to coat the top. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm area for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place them on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise again for 30-40 minutes, or until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter while they are still warm for a soft and glossy finish.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
