Description
Warm and fluffy potato dinner rolls infused with the creamy essence of mashed potatoes, perfect for any meal or gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 standard 0.25-ounce packet)
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup whole milk (warmed to package directions; 2% milk may be substituted)
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted and divided)
- 1 large egg (at room temperature)
- ½ cup mashed potatoes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Proofing the yeast: Begin by adding the yeast, sugar, and warm milk to the bowl of your stand mixer. Allow this mixture to sit for about 5 minutes, letting it bubble and froth.
- Making the dough: Pour half of the melted butter and the egg into the yeast mixture. Beat on medium-high speed until well mixed. Add the mashed potatoes and combine until fully incorporated.
- Adding dry ingredients: Sprinkle in the salt. Gradually add the flour one cup at a time until a cohesive ball of dough forms.
- Kneading: Switch to the dough hook and knead for about 10 minutes, developing a smooth dough.
- First rise: Grease a mixing bowl and cover the dough, allowing it to rise for about 1 hour in a warm spot.
- Punch down and roll out: Turn out the dough onto a floured surface, punch it down, and slice it into 12 equal pieces.
- Rolling and second rise: Roll each piece into a ball and place them in a greased baking dish. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.
- Baking: Preheat your oven to 350°F and bake the rolls for about 30 minutes until golden brown.
- Butter brushing: Brush with the remaining melted butter immediately after removing from the oven.
Notes
For make-ahead options, prepare the rolls up to the second rise and refrigerate for up to 12 hours. Allow to come to room temperature before baking.
