Ingredients

• 1 cup Mashed potatoes (unsalted and smooth)
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 0.25 cup Warm water (110°F/43°C)
• 2 Large eggs
• 6 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Melted butter (for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, heat the milk and unsalted butter over medium heat until the butter is melted. Cool slightly until it reaches lukewarm temperature.

Step 2

In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water (110°F/43°C) and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, lukewarm milk-butter mixture, and sugar. Stir until well blended.

Step 4

Add the yeast mixture to the bowl and mix to combine.

Step 5

Whisk the eggs into the mixture until fully incorporated.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment for 5-6 minutes.

Step 8

Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 3 days.

Step 9

When ready to bake, remove the dough from the refrigerator and allow it to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Step 10

Punch down the dough and divide it into 24 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a greased baking sheet or in a greased 9x13-inch pan, spacing them slightly apart.

Step 11

Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 12

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 13

Brush the warm rolls with melted butter for a glossy finish. Serve and enjoy!
