Ingredients

• 1 medium Russet potatoes
• 0.5 cups Water
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Additional melted butter for brushing

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potato, then cook in boiling water until fork-tender (about 10-12 minutes). Drain and mash the potato until smooth. Measure 1/2 cup of mashed potato and set aside to cool.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, combine the water, milk, and butter. Heat the mixture over medium-low heat until the butter is melted and the temperature is lukewarm (about 110°F or 43°C). Remove from heat and stir in the honey.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the yeast, granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup of the warm milk mixture. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the mashed potato, yeast mixture, warm milk mixture, and egg. Stir until the dough starts to come together.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, you can use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment for 6-8 minutes.

Step 6

Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.

Step 7

Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and arrange them in a greased 9x13-inch baking pan, leaving a little space between each roll.

Step 8

Cover the pan with a damp towel and let the rolls rise again for about 30-40 minutes, or until they are puffy and touching each other.

Step 9

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

Step 10

Brush the hot rolls with melted butter and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with an extra drizzle of honey, if desired.
