• 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.

Add dough and then spray top of dough with cooking spray. Cover with a dish towel and let sit for 1 hour in a draft free spot or until mixture is doubled in size. After mixture has doubled, take all your anger out on it and punch it a few times. Prepare a 9x13 casserole dish and a 9x9 casserole dish for rolls by spraying them generously with cooking spray. Grab approximately 3 Tablespoons of dough and slowly pull ends down and under the dough creating a ball. Place this in the greased casserole dish. You should be able to get 3 across and 4 down, making 12 in the 9x13 pan and 3 across and 3 down in the 9x9 pan, making 9 in the small pan. Cover prepared dough with a dish towel and let rise again for another hour. Preheat oven to 350*F Bake rolls for 25 minutes UNCOVERED or until tops of rolls are golden.

(up to 8 min) Place in lightly greased bowl, turning once to coat.Cover: put in warm place, let rise to double in size, about 1 hr. Punch down, shape into ball, cover let rest 10 min. Shape into rolls, place on a greased cookie sheet. Let rise until double about 1 hr Bake at 350 10-12 min or until browned. Makes 2 dozen.

Steps:

• Set oven to 400°F.

• Brush the top of the garlic head with the oil, roast in oven until top of cloves are golden brown and the cloves look to have separated from the side walls of the head, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, wash and Peel the potatoes. Split in half, then cut half into four similarly sized pieces.
• Place potatoes in a large, deep pot. Add enough water to come one inch over the potatoes. Cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Keep and eye on the pot, so as to prevent boil-overs.
• Boil until a paring knife can easily stab through a potato piece. When appropriate doneness is reached, drain and pour into the workbowl of a stand mixer (or keep in the pot and use a hand mixer.)
• Whip the potatoes alone on high speed until thy are all broken down. Add the butter, continue to whip for 1-2 more minutes. It is important that the butter be added first - this will help to keep the starches in the potato from becoming gummy or gluey.
• Slowly add the Buttermilk while the mixer is going. Slowly add the half-and-half, stopping periodically to see if he potatoes actually need the extra moisture. They may need more or less than perscribed, it is really a matter of personal preference.

• Roll 1/2 of the dough out onto a floured surface into a rectangle shape, about 1/2-inch thick. Repeat with remaining dough. Mix brown sugar and enough milk to make a paste together in a small bowl. Smooth paste evenly across both dough rectangles and sprinkle generously with cinnamon. Sprinkle with raisins.
