Delicious Potato Rolls Recipe for a Perfect Meal

Ingredients

Servings:
12
  • 2 cups mashed potatoes (Cooked and cooled)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (Plus extra for dusting)
  • 1 packet instant yeast (About 2 1/4 teaspoons)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (Granulated sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg (Beaten, for egg wash)
  • 1 cup milk (Warm, for dough)
  • 3 tablespoons butter (Melted, plus more for brushing)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (Optional for flavor)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, mix together mashed potatoes, flour, yeast, sugar, and salt until combined.

    Ensure the mashed potatoes are cooled to room temperature.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients

    Stir in the melted butter and warm milk until a soft dough forms.

    If the dough is too sticky, add more flour gradually.
  3. Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.

    Use a bench scraper to help with sticky dough.
  4. Let the Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

    Preheat your oven during this time for best results.
  5. Shape the Rolls

    Punch down the dough and shape it into small balls. Place them on a greased baking sheet.

    Make sure to leave space between each roll.
  6. Final Rise

    Cover the shaped rolls with a cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

    This step helps create a light texture.
  7. Bake the Rolls

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

    Brush with melted butter immediately after baking for extra flavor.
