Potato Rolls

                                                           Rolls are almost to the table!

This are the best Rolls ever. They are so full of calories that I make them for holidays or when I have company.  I can eat the whole batch.  So Holiday's is the only time for me to make them.  I have to double the batch because everyone wants to eat a lot.  Carbs are the best!!!!!!  I wish there was a carb diet!!!


1/2 c. unseasoned warm mashed potato or packaged instant mashed potato
1 1/2 c. warm water (105 to 115 F)
2 pkg active dry yeast
1/2 c. sugar
1 T. salt
2 eggs
1/2 c. butter or marg. softened
6 1/2 c. unsifted all purpose flour
 Melted butter
 Prepare potato as package label directs for 1/2 c. omitting salt and butter.  Pour warm water into a large bowl.   Sprinkle the yeast over water, add sugar stir till dissolved.  Let stand a few min. till slightly bubble.  Add eggs, soft butter, warm mashed potato, salt  and 3 c. flour.  beat at high speed till smooth.  Add 2 c. flour beating with a wooden spoon till flour is incorporated in dough.  ( I use my bread mixer)  Add remaining  1 1/2 c. flour, Knead till gluten develop 10 min.   Cover and let rise till doubled in bulk.  Punch down and roll into desired shape.  I dip each roll in butter and but on pan.  Let rise till double in bulk  (about a hour.)   Bake 350 for 15 min or till they are golden brown.
