Ingredients

• 1 medium potato, peeled and diced
• 1 cup water
• 1 packet active dry yeast
• 0.25 cup warm water (110°F)
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Place the peeled and diced potato in a small saucepan with 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until tender, about 10-12 minutes.

Step 2

Drain the potatoes, reserving the cooking water, and mash the potatoes until smooth. Let them cool to room temperature.

Step 3

In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast and sugar in 1/4 cup of warm water. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, 1/2 cup of the reserved potato water, olive oil, and egg. Mix well.

Step 5

Add the yeast mixture to the potato mixture and stir to combine.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, salt, and baking powder.

Step 7

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms. The dough will be slightly sticky.

Step 8

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 9

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 10

Dust your hands with some gluten-free flour and divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 11

Cover the shaped rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let rise for an additional 30 minutes.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown.

Step 13

Brush the tops with melted butter if desired, and allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving.
