Homemade FLUFFY POTATO DINNER ROLLS 😋🤤

Instructions

1. Activate yeast:
   • In a bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy.
2. Mix dough:
   • Add mashed potatoes, melted butter, egg, and salt. Mix well.
   • Gradually add flour, 1 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
3. Knead:
   • Knead 8–10 minutes by hand (or 5 minutes with a mixer) until smooth and elastic.
   • Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled (about 1 hour).
4. Shape rolls:
   • Punch down dough, divide into 15–18 equal pieces.
   • Shape into smooth balls and place on a greased baking sheet or in a buttered 9×13″ pan.
5. Second rise:
   • Cover loosely and let rise again for 30–40 minutes until puffy.
6. Bake:
   • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
   • Bake 18–22 minutes, until golden brown.
7. Finish:
   • Brush hot rolls with melted butter for that soft, shiny top.

✨ Tips

• Save leftover mashed potatoes to make these the next day.
• For extra flavor: add a pinch of garlic powder or rosemary to the dough.
• These freeze really well — reheat in the oven for “freshly baked” taste.

Would you like me to also give you a sweet version of these potato rolls (like a soft breakfast bun with cinnamon or honey)?
