Ingredients

• 1 cup Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 2 count Large eggs
• 4.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Light brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted (for filling)
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Whole milk (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Peel, dice, and boil Yukon Gold potatoes until fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth. Measure out 1 cup of mashed potatoes and allow to cool to lukewarm.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, warm 1 cup of whole milk until just warm to the touch (110°F). Stir in 2 teaspoons of sugar, then sprinkle the yeast over the milk. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, milk and yeast mixture, 1/2 cup of sugar, softened butter, eggs, and salt. Gradually mix in the flour, 1 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.

Step 4

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, or use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rise in a warm spot for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 5

While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by combining the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.

Step 6

Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a 16x12-inch rectangle. Brush the surface with the melted butter and evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over it.

Step 7

Starting from the long edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Use a sharp knife or dental floss to cut the log into 12 equal rolls.

Step 8

Arrange the rolls in a greased 9x13-inch baking pan, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let them rise for another 30-40 minutes until puffy.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 10

While the rolls bake, make the cream cheese glaze by whisking together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth and spreadable.

Step 11

Allow the rolls to cool for 5-10 minutes before spreading the glaze generously over the top. Serve warm and enjoy!
