I tried this recipe and the rolls turned out a bit dry. I think I might have overmixed the dough. But the flavor was still good.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I tried it! The mashed potatoes made the dough so soft and moist. And the cinnamon sugar filling was delicious. I think these are the best cinnamon rolls I've ever had.
