Instructions

  • Peel, dice, boil, and mash potato; set aside. *
    1 large russet potato
  • In bowl of Deluxe Stand Mixer fitted with dough hook attachment, combine water and 1 teaspoon sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
    ¼ cup water, 1 teaspoon sugar, 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast

    ¼ cup sugar, 1 cup milk, 6 tablespoons butter, 1 egg, 1 ½ teaspoons salt, 4 ½ - 5 cups all-purpose flour, 1 large russet potato
  • Set Deluxe Stand Mixer to Knead for five minutes**, or until the dough comes together and pulls away from the side of the bowl.
  • Transfer dough to a clean bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm area for 1 hour, until doubled in size.
  • Uncover dough and punch it down to release air then turn out onto a lightly floured board. Divide dough into 16-20 even pieces, then roll each piece into a smooth ball.
  • Place them into the Stone Rectangular Baker With Tray***, cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F/200⁰C.
  • Remove cover, then bake rolls until golden, about 25 minutes.

Notes

*Alternatively, you can use leftover mashed potatoes.
**You can also knead this dough by hand.
***If you are baking your rolls in a pan other than the Stone Rectangular Baker With Tray, then I recommend greasing your pan so that the rolls do not stick.
