Potato Chive Rolls
Soft, flavorful potato chive rolls with a hint of onion, perfect for brunch or dinner sides, appealing to bread lovers and those seeking a savory, tender roll.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a cup, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water; let stand until foamy.
- In a large mixer bowl, combine sour cream, mashed cooked potatoes, eggs, salt, and 2 cups of flour.
- Add the foamy yeast mixture and beat at medium speed for about 4 minutes.
- Stir in chopped chives.
- Add 2 1/2 cups of flour to make a stiff dough.
- Turn out onto a floured surface and knead just long enough to work in the remaining 1/2 cup of flour and make the dough elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a damp cloth.
- Let rise until double in bulk, approximately 1 1/2 hours.
- Punch down the dough.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider adding garlic powder or onion powder to the dough. If you don't have sour cream, Greek yogurt can be a suitable substitute. For a more herby flavor, try incorporating fresh parsley or dill alongside the chives. Make sure to knead the dough just enough until elastic, as over-kneading can lead to tougher rolls.
Serving Suggestions
These rolls are perfect served warm with butter or alongside a hearty soup or salad, such as Rave Salad. They also pair beautifully with a grilled meat dish. For a complete meal, consider serving them with a side of Confetti Potatoes for a delightful contrast in flavors and textures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast?
Yes, you can substitute instant yeast for active dry yeast. Use the same amount, but there is no need to dissolve it in water first. Simply mix it directly with the dry ingredients for a quicker rise.
Can I add cheese to the rolls?
Absolutely! Adding shredded cheese, such as cheddar or mozzarella, can add a delightful flavor. Fold it in with the chives before adding the remaining flour to create cheesy Potato Chive Rolls.
