Mashed Potato Rolls

Have leftover mashed potatoes? Here's a great way to use up that little bit. This recipe makes a lot of dinner rolls but you can freeze extra for later use. I included a web link on how to do this properly.

Ingredients

  • 1 Pkg. (1/4 oz.) Active Dry Yeast
  • 1/4 Cup Warm Water (105°F)
  • 1 3/4 Cups Warm Milk (105°F)
  • 1/4 Cup Butter, Softened
  • 1/4 Cup Vegetable Oil
  • 6 Tbsp. Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1/2 Cup Warm Homemade Mashed Potatoes
  • 1 1/2 Tsp. Salt
  • 1 Tsp. Baking Powder
  • 1/2 Tsp. Baking Soda
  • 6 Cups. All Purpose Flour
  • Melted Butter, Optional

Directions

  1. In a bowl, dissolve yeast in water. In large bowl add milk, butter, oil, sugar, egg and mashed potatoes; mix well.
  2. Stir yeast mixture into potato mixture. Stir in the salt, baking powder, baking soda and enough flour to form a soft dough.
  3. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours.
  4. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Cover one piece. Shape the other piece into 16 balls. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining dough. Cover and let rise until doubled.
  5. Bake at 375° for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with butter if desired.
  6. Yield: 2 1/2 Dozen Rolls
