Mashed Potato Rolls Recipe

  • 1/3 cup Idahoan® Original Mashed Potatoes, dry
  • 1/4 cup warm water (110 degrees to 115 degrees F)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 (.25 ounce) envelope active dry yeast
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 3/4 cup warm milk, scalded and cooled to luke warm
  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • Melted butter for brushing
  1. Place warm water and sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Sift together flour and salt; mix in potato flakes.
  3. In a mixer bowl, combine yeast mixture, warm milk, butter and egg. Slowly beat in potato-flour mixture, one half cup at a time, until a soft dough is formed. If dough is sticky, add more flour, 2 tablespoons at a time until dough pulls away from sides of bowl and is easy to handle.
