★Ingredients
1 cup warm water
1 medium potato, peeled and diced
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 1/2 – 4 cups all-purpose flour
★Instructions
Boil the diced potato until tender. Drain and mash it, then let it cool slightly.
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water with a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potato, yeast mixture, sugar, melted butter, and salt.
Gradually add in the flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between each roll.
Cover the rolls and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter, if desired, and serve warm.
Enjoy!
