Arlenes Potato Rolls Recipes

POTATO ROLLS

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.

POTATO ROLLS

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.

POTATO ROLLS

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. In a saucepan, heat milk, shortening and water to 120 degrees F-130 degrees F. Add to dry ingredients; beat until moistened. Add mashed potatoes and eggs; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a stiff dough. Do not knead. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
• Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and punch down. Divide in half. With greased hands, shape each portion into 12 balls. Roll each ball into an 8-in. rope; tie into a knot. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets; tuck ends under. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 2 hours. Bake at 375 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
