MAMMAW BUNN’S MIRACLE POTATO ROLLS

Kitchen Notes

My grandmother-in-law made these rolls for every holiday meal- they are soft and pillowy and have always been a family favorite. I love continuing the tradition and making Mammaw’s potato rolls, using her rolling pin, and sometimes convincing my daughter to help out. Ingredients

2/3 cup of butter 2/3 cup of sugar 1 tsp. salt 1 cup mashed potatoes, unseasoned 2 cups hot potato water (saved from the cooked potatoes) 2 packages dry active yeast (or 4 ½ tsp.) 2 eggs, lightly beaten 7 cups all-purpose flour (approx.)

Directions

In a large bowl, mix together the butter, sugar, salt, mashed potatoes, and hot potato water. Let cool until lukewarm (about 105 °F). Add yeast and eggs. Gradually add enough flour to form a soft dough. (Too much flour yields dry rolls; you may not need to use all 7 cups!) Place dough in a well-greased large bowl; cover and let rise at least 1 hour. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about ¾ inch thickness and cut out rolls using a biscuit cutter, drinking glass, etc. Place rolls on a greased baking sheet and let rise a 2nd time, about 1 hour. Bake in an oven preheated to 375 °F for 10 minutes, or until light golden brown.
