Description
These fluffy and soft Potato Rolls are perfect for sandwiches, burgers, or family meals. Made with mashed potatoes, they have a tender crumb and a slightly sweet flavor, delivering an irresistibly soft texture every time.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cooked and mashed potatoes (cooled to room temperature)
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (adjust as needed)
- 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F / 43°C)
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Boil peeled potatoes until very tender. Drain, mash smoothly without lumps, and let cool to room temperature before using.
- In a bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy and bubbly, indicating the yeast is active.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, activated yeast mixture, melted butter, egg, and salt. Gradually add the flour and stir until the dough begins to form. Knead by hand or with a stand mixer until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
- Gently punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball and place them close together in a greased baking dish or tray to encourage soft sides.
- Cover the rolls loosely and let them rise again for 30 to 40 minutes until puffy. Brush with egg wash for a shiny golden crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 18 to 20 minutes, or until lightly golden on top.
Notes
- These rolls are ideal for sliders, sides, or anytime fresh bread cravings.
- Adjust flour as needed for the right dough consistency.
- Can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
