Steps:

• If making POTATO ROLLS: Preheat oven to 350°F.
• In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in 1 cup warm water. Allow the yeast to activate and then mix in sugar or honey.
• Add mashed potatoes, vegetable oil, eggs and salt. Use mixer or bread hooks.
• Add flour one cup at a time stopping at 5 1/2 cups. Slowly add remaining flour until the dough is only slightly sticky to the touch. The dough should be workable but not dry.
• Place in a greased bowl and cover with a towel. Allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, or it can sit overnight at room temperature.
• Punch down and then roll dough out on floured surface to 1/2" thickness.
• Use a canning jar ring to cut rolls - should make 30-36 rolls.
• Place on a greased pan and allow to rise till almost doubled.
• Bake in a preheated 350°F oven 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
• If desired, slather outside tops with butter while still warm.
• Enjoy!
• NOTE: Prep time does not include rise times as they will vary.
• If making POTATO BREAD: Place into bread pan in order as listed above OR as per manufacturer's guidelines.
• Set for 1 1/2 lb. bread loaf and start bread machine.
• Walk away until you hear the "ding" of the bread machine - approximately 3 hours later.
• Remove from pan and slather outside of the loaf with butter while still warm from machine.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Special equipment: an instant-read or candy thermometer
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Microwave the potatoes until tender, about 10 minutes, depending on your microwave. Slice the potatoes in half, spoon out the flesh and mash slightly. Measure out 1 cup of the potatoes and reserve.
• Warm the milk in a small saucepan to 90 degrees F. Activate the yeast by sprinkling it over the warm milk. Let stand for 5 minutes.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the coconut oil, sugar, salt, egg and reserved 1 cup mashed potatoes and mix until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the yeast mixture. Add the flour in 2 batches and mix after each addition, until the dough starts to pull from the sides and looks elastic, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently until smooth and supple, about 1 minute. Divide the dough into 16 portions (about 2 ounces each) and roll each into a ball on your work surface to create a roll. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Let the rolls rest until doubled in size, about 15 minutes.
• Brush the rolls generously with the melted butter and sprinkle with the sea salt. Bake until the tops are golden brown, 13 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in warm water in a bowl. Let stand until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
• Mix milk, mashed potatoes, shortening or butter (see Cook's Note), sugar, and salt together in a bowl; add yeast mixture and egg. Stir 2 cups flour into the milk mixture until incorporated. Stir in remaining 2 cups flour to make a soft dough.
• Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 7 minutes. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to coat all sides of dough with oil. Cover bowl and put in a warm place until dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Punch dough down and shape into a ball. Cover the bowl and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.
• Shape dough into 24 rolls and place onto prepared baking sheets; let rise until dough springs back when you touch the side of a roll with your fingertip, about 25 to 40 minutes.
• Bake rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream sugar& shortening.
• Add potatoes, salt and eggs.
• In a small bowl dissolve yeast in 2/3 cups warm water; add to creamed mixture.
• Beat in 2 cups flour & remaining water.
• Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
• Shape into ball.
• (Don't knead) Put in greased bowl and turn to grease top.
• Cover and rise 1 hour.
• Punch down.
• Divide into 3 parts.
• Shape each part into 15 balls and put into 3 pans.
• Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
• Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes.
• Remove from pans and cool on wire racks.
• (I use instant mashed potatoes, prepared).
• May be frozen.
• I also make them earlier than needed and cook them only until firm so I can finish cooking them just before my meal.

Steps:

• In large bowl combine 2 cups of the flour and the yeast.
• In small mixing bowl combine warm water, potatoes, butter, sugar and salt.
• Add to dry ingredients in mixing bowl.
• Beat with electric mixer for 30 seconds on low, scraping side of bowl.
• Beat on high speed for 3 minutes.
• Stir in remaining flour with a dough hook (or knead by hand), as needed (with most bread recipes the actual amount of flour required depends on humidity, etc. so add slowly until dough pulls away from sides of pan and forms a ball).
• Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours.
• Punch dough down.
• Turn out on lightly floured surface.
• Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Grease 13x9-inch baking pan.
• Shape dough into 24 rolls.
• I divide by cutting dough piece in half and then each of those pieces in half--continuing until I have 24 pieces.
• That helps to get a more uniform size.
• Make balls by holding dough in both hands and gently smoothing by pushing the edges towards the back.
• Place rolls in prepared pan.
• Cover and let rise in a warm place until nearly doubled in size (about 40 minutes).
• Bake at 400°F for 16 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine 1 cup flour, sugar,yeast and salt; set aside. In another bowl, combine water, milk and butter; stir in potato flakes. Let stand for 1 minute. Add to dry ingredients. Add one egg; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 4-6 minutes. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes. Divide dough into 12 pieces; shape each into a ball. Place in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Place a large shallow pan on the counter; fill half full with boiling water. Place baking pan containing rolls over the water-filled pan. Cover and let rise for 15 minutes. Lightly beat remaining egg; brush over rolls. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack.

Steps:

• Soak yeast in water.
• Cream shortening, potatoes, and sugar. Add eggs and beat well; add salt and milk and mix well. Add yeast water, stir in flour.
• Cover dough and let rise until double. Roll out half of dough in 1/4 inch thick rectangle, sprinkle with 1/2 cup brown sugar and half the cinnamon.
• Roll up and cut rolls 1 1/2" thick and place on baking sheet; let rise.
• Bake at 325 until lightly browned approximately 20-25 minutes depends on your oven. Ice while still warm with your favorite cream cheese icing or cinnamon buns icing. The rest of dough can be stored in refrigerator.
