Ingredients

• 1 medium Russet potato
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup Sugar
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 0.25 cup Warm water
• 4.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil or melted butter

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potato. Place it in a pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook until the potato is tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth. Allow it to cool to room temperature.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar and buttermilk until the sugar dissolves. Allow the mixture to cool to lukewarm.

Step 3

In a small bowl, sprinkle the active dry yeast over the warm water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 4

In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large mixing bowl), combine the mashed potato, buttermilk mixture, yeast mixture, flour, salt, and egg.

Step 5

Using the dough hook attachment (or your hands), knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it comes together.

Step 6

Lightly grease a large bowl and place the dough inside, turning it to coat in the oil. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Step 7

Punch down the dough and divide it into 16 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place them on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet about 1 inch apart.

Step 8

Cover the rolls with the kitchen towel and let them rise again until puffy, about 30-40 minutes.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops of the rolls with vegetable oil or melted butter, if desired, for a soft and golden crust.

Step 10

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.

Step 11

Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter or as a side for your favorite meals.
