Ingredients

• 200 grams Russet potatoes (peeled and diced)
• 500 grams All-purpose flour
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Dry yeast
• 120 milliliters Milk
• 75 grams Unsalted butter (softened, divided)
• 2 large Eggs
• 100 grams Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 100 grams Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes, then boil them in salted water until tender (about 10-15 minutes). Drain and mash the potatoes until smooth. Let them cool to room temperature.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the milk until warm but not hot (about 40°C or 110°F). Add the dry yeast and 1 teaspoon of the granulated sugar. Stir and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until frothy.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, remaining granulated sugar, and salt. Add the mashed potatoes, frothy yeast mixture, 50 grams of softened butter, and eggs. Mix until a dough begins to form.

Step 4

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, or until it's smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 5

While the dough rises, prepare the filling. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon together.

Step 6

Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle (about 30x40 cm or 12x16 inches). Spread the remaining 25 grams of softened butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the butter.

Step 7

Roll the dough tightly into a log starting from the longer edge. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish, cut side up. Cover with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the Cinnamon Potato Rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 9

While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth.

Step 10

Once the rolls are out of the oven, let them cool slightly before drizzling the glaze over the top. Serve warm and enjoy!
