Ingredients

  • 1 pkg. yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 5 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mashed potatoes
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

  1. Dissolve yeast in warm water and let stand until frothy.
  2. Mix all ingredients—yeast mixture, flour, oil, milk, salt, mashed potatoes, sugar, and beaten eggs—in a large bowl to form a stiff dough.
  3. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and refrigerate.
  4. When ready to bake, pinch off a portion of dough, shape as desired, and let rise for 20 minutes at room temperature.
  5. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips & Substitutions

For a lighter texture, consider using bread flour instead of all-purpose flour. If you don't have mashed potatoes, you can substitute with instant potato flakes mixed with water. Ensure the water for dissolving the yeast is warm but not hot, as excessive heat can kill the yeast. Let the dough rest longer in the fridge for enhanced flavor.

Serving Suggestions

These potato rolls are delicious served warm with butter or honey. They pair wonderfully with soups and stews, making them great for a cozy meal. For a sweet treat, they can be enjoyed alongside Microwave Cherry Coconut Bars for dessert. Consider serving them at holiday gatherings for a festive touch.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag. To reheat, warm them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes until heated through and slightly crisp.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can refrigerate the dough for up to 24 hours before shaping and baking. This not only saves time but also allows the flavors to develop further. Just make sure to let the dough rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes before shaping.

What can I do if my rolls are too dense?

If your rolls turn out dense, it may be due to overworking the dough or not allowing it enough time to rise. Make sure to knead gently and monitor the rising time. If needed, you can add a little more milk to the dough to achieve a softer consistency.

Can I use whole wheat flour instead?

Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for half of the all-purpose flour to increase the nutritional value, but keep in mind that this will result in denser rolls. You may need to adjust the liquid slightly to maintain the right dough consistency.
