Ingredients<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
For the Dough:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • 1 cup\u00a0mashed potatoes\u00a0<\/strong>(leftover or freshly cooked, cooled to room temperature)<\/li>\n\n\n\n

  • 1\/4 cup\u00a0granulated sugar<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 packet (2 1\/4 teaspoons)\u00a0active dry yeast<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1\/2 cup\u00a0warm milk\u00a0<\/strong>(about 110\u00b0F\/43\u00b0C)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 large\u00a0egg\u00a0<\/strong>, beaten<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 teaspoon\u00a0salt<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 3\u20133 1\/2 cups\u00a0all-purpose flour\u00a0<\/strong>(plus extra for dusting)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    For Brushing:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

      Instructions<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      Step 1: Activate the Yeast<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. In a small bowl, combine the\u00a0warm milk\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0yeast\u00a0<\/strong>. Stir gently and let sit for\u00a05\u201310 minutes\u00a0<\/strong>, until the mixture becomes frothy. This indicates the yeast is active.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        Step 2: Mix the Dough<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the\u00a0mashed potatoes\u00a0<\/strong>,\u00a0melted butter\u00a0<\/strong>,\u00a0sugar\u00a0<\/strong>, and\u00a0beaten egg\u00a0<\/strong>. Mix until smooth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Add the\u00a0yeast mixture\u00a0<\/strong>to the potato mixture and stir to combine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Gradually add the\u00a0salt\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0flour\u00a0<\/strong>, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. You may not need all the flour\u2014stop when the dough is no longer sticky but still soft.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Step 3: Knead the Dough<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for\u00a05\u20137 minutes\u00a0<\/strong>, until smooth and elastic. Add a little more flour if needed to prevent sticking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Form the dough into a ball.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
            Step 4: Let the Dough Rise<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            1. Lightly grease a large bowl with butter or oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning it to coat all sides.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area for\u00a01\u20131.5 hours\u00a0<\/strong>, or until doubled in size.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Step 5: Shape the Rolls<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              1. Punch down the risen dough to release air bubbles. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              2. Divide the dough into\u00a012 equal pieces\u00a0<\/strong>(or more for smaller rolls). Roll each piece into a smooth ball and place them in a greased 9\u00d713-inch baking pan or on a baking sheet, spacing them evenly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                Step 6: Let the Rolls Rise Again<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                1. Cover the shaped rolls with a towel and let them rise for another\u00a030\u201345 minutes\u00a0<\/strong>, or until puffy and nearly doubled in size.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Step 7: Bake the Rolls<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  1. Preheat your oven to\u00a0375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C)\u00a0<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  2. Bake the rolls for\u00a015\u201318 minutes\u00a0<\/strong>, or until golden brown on top.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  3. Remove from the oven and brush the tops generously with\u00a0melted butter\u00a0<\/strong>for a soft, buttery finish.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                    Step 8: Serve and Enjoy!<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

                    Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. They\u2019re perfect warm, straight from the oven, but they also store well for a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Tips and Variations<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                      \n
                    • Mashed Potatoes:\u00a0<\/strong>Use plain mashed potatoes without added butter, milk, or seasoning for best results. Leftovers work great!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Make Ahead:\u00a0<\/strong>Prepare the dough up to the first rise, then refrigerate it overnight. Shape and bake the next day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Herb Rolls:\u00a0<\/strong>Add dried herbs like rosemary, thyme, or parsley to the dough for savory rolls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Sweet Rolls:\u00a0<\/strong>Increase the sugar to 1\/3 cup and add a teaspoon of vanilla extract for sweeter rolls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Freezing:\u00a0<\/strong>These rolls freeze beautifully. Store them in an airtight bag or container for up to 1 month. Reheat in the oven or microwave.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                      \n\n\n\n

                      Why You\u2019ll Love These Rolls<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                        \n
                      • Soft and Fluffy Texture:\u00a0<\/strong>The mashed potatoes keep the rolls incredibly tender and moist.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      • Versatile:\u00a0<\/strong>Pair them with soups, salads, sandwiches, or enjoy them plain with butter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      • Homemade Goodness:\u00a0<\/strong>These rolls taste far superior to store-bought and are surprisingly easy to make.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
