Easy Potato Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• Mix and knead together all ingredients in bread machine (or in mixer).
• If mixing by hand, let dough rise about 90 minutes (or follow your bread machine's dough cycle).
• Your dough might not have risen exactly double.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly greased work surface and divide it into 16 pieces.
• Round each piece into a smooth ball.
• Place the balls in a 9x 13 pan, or 2 9 inch round pans, or separately on cookie sheet.
• Cover the pan and let the rolls rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
• Preheat the oven to 325.
• Bake the rolls for 30 minutes (tenting lightly with aluminum foil after 20 minutes to prevent overbrowning).
• Rolls should be golden brown when done. Brush with additional melted butter.
• Let cool slightly and turn out on a rack to cool.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream sugar& shortening.
• Add potatoes, salt and eggs.
• In a small bowl dissolve yeast in 2/3 cups warm water; add to creamed mixture.
• Beat in 2 cups flour & remaining water.
• Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
• Shape into ball.
• (Don't knead) Put in greased bowl and turn to grease top.
• Cover and rise 1 hour.
• Punch down.
• Divide into 3 parts.
• Shape each part into 15 balls and put into 3 pans.
• Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
• Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes.
• Remove from pans and cool on wire racks.
• (I use instant mashed potatoes, prepared).
• May be frozen.
• I also make them earlier than needed and cook them only until firm so I can finish cooking them just before my meal.

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.

Steps:

• Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl.
• Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine bread crumbs.
• Stir in the sugar and mashed potato.
• Add enough milk to bind to a soft but not sticky dough.
• Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly until blended.
• Roll out until 1/2-inch thick and cut into rectangles.
• Place the rectangles on a buttered baking sheet and bake in a 425* oven for 12-15 minutes, until risen and golden.
• Leave to cool on a wire rack.
• Serve on the day made.
• Note: You can also make these rolls as triangles.
• Instead of rectangles as here, cut 12 triangles from the dough.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine 1 cup flour, sugar,yeast and salt; set aside. In another bowl, combine water, milk and butter; stir in potato flakes. Let stand for 1 minute. Add to dry ingredients. Add one egg; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 4-6 minutes. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes. Divide dough into 12 pieces; shape each into a ball. Place in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Place a large shallow pan on the counter; fill half full with boiling water. Place baking pan containing rolls over the water-filled pan. Cover and let rise for 15 minutes. Lightly beat remaining egg; brush over rolls. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack.

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.

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast, warm water, and 1 tablespoon sugar in a mixing bowl. Let stand 5 minutes.
• Add remaining sugar, sweet potato, butter or margarine, salt, and slightly beaten eggs. Stir to mix well. Stir in 3 cups of flour. Turn out on a lightly floured surface. Knead 2 to 3 minutes, adding just enough of remaining flour to prevent sticking. Do not knead too heavily; when smooth, shape into a ball. Place in an oiled bowl, and turn to coat the surface. Cover, and let raise about 1 hour or longer.
• Punch down, and allow dough to rest for 2 minutes. Divide into 16 to 20 balls, and place on a greased cookie sheet or in a 9x13 inch pan. Allow to rise until doubled.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 12 to 20 minutes. Serve warm.
