Categories     Potato     Breakfast

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup mashed potatoes
1 cup reserved potato water
3/4 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
6 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
1 3/4 cups (divided) sugar
3 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup hot water
1/2 cup warm water, 100 to 110 degrees F
2 envelopes active dry yeast (e.g. Fleischmann's Active Dry Yeast)
2 eggs
8 1/2 cups (or more if needed) all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (e.g. Spice Islands Ground Saigon Cinnamon)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (e.g. Spice Islands 100% Pure Bourbon Vanilla Extract)
5 tablespoons (or more if needed) milk

Steps:

  • Combine potatoes, potato water, 3/4 cup butter, 3/4 cup sugar, salt and hot water in large mixing bowl. Stir until butter melts; set aside and let cool. Combine yeast and 1/2 cup warm water in small bowl. Let rest 5 minutes. Add eggs, 2 cups flour and yeast mixture to potato mixture. Beat until well mixed. Continue adding flour, 1 cup at a time until soft dough forms.
  • Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic (about 4 to 6 minutes), or knead with electric mixer using dough hook. Place in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover. Let rise in a warm, draft free area about 1 hour, until doubled in size.
  • Punch dough down; divide in half. Roll one portion of dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12 x 18-inch rectangle. Spread with 1/4 cup butter. Combine 1 cup sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle half of the mixture over surface. Roll up tightly lengthwise, sealing edges. Cut into 12 slices. Place in greased 13 x 9-inch pan.
  • Repeat with remaining dough. Cover. Let rise 30 to 45 minutes until nearly doubled.
  • Bake in preheated 350 degrees F oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes.
  • Combine icing ingredients: powdered sugar, 6 tablespoons butter, vanilla extract and milk. Drizzle over rolls.
  • Note: 2 medium potatoes yield about 1 cup mashed potatoes.

These cinnamon rolls were a disappointment. They were dry and the filling was bland.

These cinnamon rolls were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

I've tried a lot of cinnamon roll recipes, but this one is by far the best. The rolls are always light and fluffy, and the filling is perfectly sweet and gooey.

These cinnamon rolls were a hit with my family! They were so soft and fluffy, and the cinnamon sugar filling was perfectly sweet and gooey. I will definitely be making these again.
