Time 2h45m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
¼ cup warm water
1 cup scalded milk, cooled
½ cup prepared mashed potatoes
¼ cup vegetable shortening
¼ cup white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 egg, beaten
4 ½ cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast in warm water in a bowl. Let stand until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Punch dough down and shape into a ball. Cover the bowl and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.
  • 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.
  • Bake rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.

Tips for Making Perfect Potato Rolls:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh potatoes, warm milk, and active dry yeast are essential for light and fluffy rolls.
  • Proof the yeast: This step is crucial to ensure the yeast is active and will help the rolls rise properly.
  • Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough develops the gluten and gives the rolls their chewy texture. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise twice: The first rise allows the yeast to grow and produce gases, which creates the air pockets in the rolls. The second rise helps the rolls to expand and become light and fluffy.
  • Bake the rolls at a high temperature: This creates a crispy crust and a fluffy interior.
  • Brush the rolls with butter: This adds a golden color and a touch of flavor to the rolls.

Conclusion:

Potato rolls are a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed on their own or used for sandwiches, burgers, and other dishes. With a few simple tips, you can easily make perfect potato rolls at home. So gather your ingredients, put on your apron, and get ready to bake some amazing potato rolls!
