Ingredients

• 2 medium Russet potatoes
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 0.25 cup Warm water
• 2 Large eggs
• 6 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Butter (melted for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks. Boil in salted water until soft, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash the potatoes until smooth. Measure 1 cup of mashed potatoes and set aside to cool.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, combine the butter and milk. Heat over medium-low heat until the butter melts, then remove from heat. Let cool until lukewarm.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, milk and butter mixture, sugar, salt, eggs, and the yeast mixture. Mix until smooth.

Step 5

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

Step 6

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

Step 7

Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning it once to coat the top. Cover with a clean towel and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 8

Punch down the dough and divide it into 24 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place on a greased baking sheet or in a greased 9x13-inch pan, leaving space for the rolls to rise.

Step 9

Cover with a towel and let rise again for about 30-40 minutes, or until doubled in size.

Step 10

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter while still warm.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
