EASY POTATO ROLLS
After I discovered this recipe, it became a mainstay for me. I make the dough ahead of time when company is coming, and I try to keep some in the refrigerator to bake for our ranch hands. Leftover mashed potatoes are almost sure to go into these rolls. -Jeanette McKinney, Belleview, Missouri

GRANDMA'S YEAST ROLLS
I have adapted these yeast rolls from my grandmother's yeast bread recipe. I have increased the sugar to create a little sweeter roll than Grandma used to make and replaced her refrigerated cake yeast with dried (easier availability). They are delicious served with Danish Lurpak® butter (it's a little tangy, just like Grandma's)! Rolls can be made the night before and reheated, covered in foil, at 300 degrees F for about ten minutes.

Steps:
- Dissolve 1 tablespoon of sugar into the water in a small bowl. Sprinkle the yeast over the water; let stand 5 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam. Meanwhile, whisk the flour, the remaining sugar, and salt together in a bowl. Once the yeast has foamed, stir the melted lard into the yeast, then stir the yeast mixture into the flour until a sticky dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly-floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. You may need to add additional flour to keep the dough from sticking. Once elastic, cover the dough with the mixing bowl, and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with lard.
- Cut the dough into three equal sections, then cut each section into 8 pieces. Form into balls and place into the prepared baking dish in 6 rows of 4. Cover with a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes.
- Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Bake in the preheated oven until the tops of the rolls are golden brown and the bottoms sound hollow when tapped, about 1 hour. Allow to cool at least 10 minutes before eating.

GRANDMA'S EASY POTATO ROLLS
These fluffy rolls (King Arthur Baking) are easy to mix up in a jiffy, since they take potato flour instead of mashed potatoes (potato flakes can be substituted). I mix them in my bread machine and the dough is silky and easy to shape. They turn out "picture perfect." They work out perfectly if you shape into 16 balls and put in 2 round pans (8 each).

GRANDMA'S OLD-FASHIONED YEAST ROLLS
This recipe is one of our family traditions. We don't know how old it is, but it is at least Depression Era (no milk, no eggs). It was handed down from my Grandma Pearl Nash. She never wrote down the recipe, always measured by memory and her hands. She developed breast cancer in the early 60's and shortly before she died. My Daddy asked her to measure out all the ingredients so the recipe would not be lost. He carried her into the kitchen, where she carefully placed the ingredients on newsprint paper. My mama (who my kids called Tutu) shifted the ingredients into measuring cups and spoons to record the amounts.

Steps:
- Dissolve yeast in warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Stir in sugar and salt until you see foam rising. Add 3 cups flour and 3/4 cup shortening; mix with the dough hook until the mixture is the consistency of a thick pancake batter.
- Fill a pot with hot (not boiling) water.
- Remove the mixer bowl and cover it with plastic wrap and a towel. Place the bowl over the pot of hot water, making sure the bottom does not touch the water. Let rise until doubled in size, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Place the bowl back on your stand mixer and gradually mix in remaining 4 cups flour until dough is smooth and elastic; you may need to add up to 1 additional cup.
- Heavily grease two 9x13-inch pans with shortening.
- Divide dough into 24 balls. Place 12 balls into each of the prepared pans; cover with plastic wrap and a towel. Let rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about 1 hour; balls will start out at about 1 1/2 inches in diameter but will rise and touch the sides of the pans.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Bake rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush melted butter over top.

Tips:
- Activate the yeast properly: Always check the expiration date of your yeast and ensure it's active before using it. Activate the yeast in warm water (105-115°F) with a pinch of sugar for 5-10 minutes, until it becomes foamy.
- Use the right kind of potatoes: Russet potatoes are ideal for these rolls due to their high starch content, which helps create a fluffy texture. Yukon Gold or all-purpose potatoes can also be used.
- Cook the potatoes correctly: Boil the potatoes until they are fork-tender but not mushy. Overcooked potatoes will result in dense rolls.
- Mash the potatoes thoroughly: Use a potato ricer or a fork to mash the potatoes until smooth. Lumps in the potatoes can affect the texture of the rolls.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: Find a warm spot in your kitchen, such as a turned-off oven with the light on, to let the dough rise. Consistent warmth helps the yeast work effectively.
- Shape the rolls gently: Handle the dough gently when shaping the rolls to avoid deflating them. Use a light touch and be careful not to overwork the dough.
- Bake the rolls until golden brown: Bake the rolls in a preheated oven until they are golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped. This ensures that they are cooked through.
Conclusion:
These Grandma's Easy Potato Rolls are a delightful addition to any meal. With their soft, fluffy texture, subtle potato flavor, and hassle-free preparation, they are sure to become a family favorite. Whether you're serving them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, these rolls will be a hit.
