Fluffy Potato Dinner Rolls

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 cup mashed potatoes (about 2 medium potatoes)
  • 1/2 cup warm milk
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Preparation

  1. Activate the Yeast: In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, melted butter, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast becomes foamy.
  2. Incorporate Potatoes: Add the mashed potatoes to the yeast mixture and mix thoroughly.
  3. Combine Flour and Salt: Gradually add flour and salt to the mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
  4. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  6. Shape the Rolls: Punch down the dough and divide it into equal-sized portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place them in a greased baking pan, leaving some space between each roll.
  7. Second Rise: Cover the rolls and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  8. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  9. Brush with Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg wash.
