Ingredients

• 1 cup Russet potatoes (peeled and diced)
• 2 cups Water
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 2 Eggs (large, room temperature)
• 4.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Milk (lukewarm, about 100°F/38°C)
• 2 tablespoons Melted butter (for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

Place the peeled and diced potatoes into a medium saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, about 10-15 minutes.

Step 2

Drain the potatoes and mash until smooth. Measure out 1 cup of mashed potato and let it cool to room temperature.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, softened butter, sugar, salt, eggs, milk, and the instant yeast. Mix until well blended.

Step 4

Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but still manageable.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a large, greased bowl, turning once to coat the top. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm area for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place them on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise again for 30-40 minutes, or until puffy.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 10

Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 11

Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter while they are still warm for a soft and glossy finish.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
