Mama King's Potato Rolls
One thing I absolutely love about potato rolls is how moist and soft they are. They are a bit more dense than traditional white rolls. I like to use my left-over potatoes from other meals I have made. There have been times I have even made them using instant potatoes and they worked out great. I have never had a problem. Enjoy!
- 4 1/2-5 cups flour
- 3 Tablespoons sugar
- 2 Tablespoons yeast
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/4 cup water
- 3 Tablespoons butter or margarine
- 1/2 cup mashed potatoes
In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. In a saucepan, heat water and butter to 120-130 degrees F. Do not let this get too hot because you don't want the hot water to kill your yeast. Add to dry ingredients; beat until smooth. Stir in mashed potatoes and enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Divide into 16 pieces. Shape into a balls and place into a greased 9X13" pan. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Allow rolls to rise for about 45 minutes. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown.
