My cousin’s classic-with-a-twist recipe is truly delish. Extra rolls freeze well. — Devon Vickers, Goddard, Kansas

Whole Wheat Potato Rolls Recipe

Prep: 30 min.+ rising Bake: 10 min.

Yield: 32 Servings

30 10 40

Ingredients

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
2 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
2 eggs
1/3 cup mashed potato flakes
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
4 to 4-3/4 cups whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Quick-cooking oats, optional

Directions

In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, oil, eggs, potato flakes, salt, yeast mixture, all-purpose flour and 2-1/2 cups whole wheat flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining whole wheat flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours.
Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide and shape into 24 balls. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover with kitchen towels; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Brush tops with melted butter; if desired, sprinkle with oats. Bake at 375° for 9-11 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm. Yield: 24 rolls.

We loved these rolls, they were great fresh and leftover. Using as buns is a great idea!

The direction to add the yeast was left out of the magazine version, but it has been corrected here.

When is the yeast added to the other ingredients? The recipe doesn't say...

These rolls are so good and so easy to make. I made some of them a little larger,(big enough to use as hamburger buns). I will be making them again and again!
