Easy Potato Rolls
After I discovered this recipe, it became a mainstay for me. I make the dough ahead of time when company is coming, and I try to keep some in the refrigerator to bake for our ranch hands. Leftover mashed potatoes are almost sure to go into these rolls. —Jeanette McKinney, Belleview, Missouri

I made these rolls for a ladies luncheon I was hosting and they were a smash hit! One lady, who often brings her homemade rolls, even asked for the recipe! My husband is not a big bread eater, but asked for a roll instead of toast for breakfast until they were gone.
I am not a home baker of buns/bread but these were very easy to make, I loved them. Thank you Jeannette McKinney for posting a delicious recipe. One thing you stated is that you try to keep some in the refrigerator to bake, do you make the buns up, then place in the fridge
Just a cool little tip. I have a small heating pad that I set my bowl on to rise the dough. Set it on low and Wallah it's ready in no time.
I’d like to make these ahead of time. At what point can the dough be refrigerated, or frozen?
Make these often, also use the dough to male cinnamon rolls, absolutely wonderful.
I make bread all the time, and have taught myself shortcuts to make it less time consuming. The optimal way for yeast is to let it rise in warm water, but u can skip step and just add it to ur dry ingredients. It will rise, unlike what nemeneme said! It just takes alittle longer! But it will work. As far as the new baker that added that less of flour, u need to practice again and again. U didn’t do the recipe correctly Baking is an art! Once u get the hang of it, it is easy to make!
These are delicious! The addition of mashed potatoes makes them outstanding in our house. These will make the regular bread rotation, for sure!
I've been making these rolls for years and they always turn out well. I even put in cold mashed potatoes and they turn out well. One of my grandsons will always be here if he knows I'm making these. They freeze well also - just wrap them in foil and warm in the oven.
My grandma always made potato rolls and we'd wake up to the wonderful smell of baking rolls every holiday morning. I am definitely making these (my first ever attempt of working with yeast), so fingers crossed!
This is the most wonderful roll recipe. For those who say she didn't say to add the yeast, did you read the directions? Step 1 clearly states what to do with the yeast. Great recipe. Follow it to the letter and you will not be disappointed!
