Recipe 1371 - Potato Rolls
(by Shirley McNevich)
3 red potatoes (washed, peeled, drained but keep 1 cup of the water)
2 envelopes dry yeast
1/2 tsp. white sugar
1/2 cup softened butter
1/4 cup Crisco shortening
1/2 cup honey
2 eggs
2 tsp. salt
about 6 1/2 cups flour
Boil peeled potatoes until tender--drain but reserve 1 cup of the potato
water. Mash the cooked potatoes with a potato masher. Sprinkle both
packets of yeast into 1/2 cup of the hot potato water--stir. Add the
white sugar to the yeast mixture--stir. Let the yeast mixture stand for
10 minutes. While waiting, put the butter and Crisco into the other 1/2
cup of hot potato water--stir until melted. In a mixer add eggs--beat.
Add salt and mashed potatoes--beat. Add yeast mixture--beat until
blended. Add Crisco mixture and honey--beat. Add 2 1/2 cups flour--
beat for 2 minutes. Remove bowl from mixer--add 3 1/2 cups to 4 1/2
cups flour--mix with your hands until it forms a dough ball. Place
dough ball on floured counter and knead it until smooth. Place the
dough ball into a greased bowl--spray the top of the dough ball with
Pam and place a tea towel over the top of the bowl. Let the dough rise
until it doubles in size. Cut the dough into pieces about half the size of
the rolls you want to make (they will double in size) and roll them
smooth with your hands. Place dough pieces in a greased 9 x 13 cake
pan. Cover the cake pan with a tea towel and let them rise until
doubled in size. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes or until browned.
