Potato Rolls
I have been eating these rolls since I was a kid. I don’t know where they started out, but I remember my grandmother making them. They freeze well and taste great split open and toasted.
INGRIDIENT
DIRECTION
Step: 1
Dissolve yeast in warm water in a bowl. Let stand until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
Step: 2
Mix milk, mashed potatoes, shortening or butter (see Cook’s Note), sugar, and salt together in a bowl; add yeast mixture and egg. Stir 2 cups flour into the milk mixture until incorporated. Stir in remaining 2 cups flour to make a soft dough.
Step: 3
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 7 minutes. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to coat all sides of dough with oil. Cover bowl and put in a warm place until dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Step: 4
Punch dough down and shape into a ball. Cover the bowl and let rest for 10 minutes.
Step: 5
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.
Step: 6
Shape dough into 24 rolls and place onto prepared baking sheets; let rise until dough springs back when you touch the side of a roll with your fingertip, about 25 to 40 minutes.
Step: 7
Bake rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.

The best flavour of the flour could make a real deal to your bread. Different makers do vary. Extra-strong or Canadian flours, which are naturally higher in gluten, may give you a better rise than standard dough flours – especially if you’re making wholemeal dough , which doesn’t always rise as well as white bread.
To make this in a breadmaker , add all the menus to your breadmaker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
A bread first rising can be make in the fridge overnight . This slows down the time it takes to rise to double its size, giving it a deeper flavour. It’s also a great limit , as you can start it night before , then finish it off the next day.
