Delicious Potato Rolls! Do you shy away from making yeast bread? A lot of people do because it can be a little intimidating. These rolls, however, are very easy!
To make it even easier they can be made in the bread machine if you have one. The instructions in the recipe are for handmade. But for the bread machine just throw the ingredients in according to your machine instructions and set the machine on the dough cycle.
The results with either method are amazing! Soft and fluffy. The perfect dinner roll. So much better than store-bought rolls.
Give the recipe a try and I’ll just bet they will become your go-to roll recipe.

A delicious potato roll recipe that's easy to make and tastes great!
- 1 pkg. active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 C. warm water
- 2/3 C. sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2/3 C. shortening
- 2 large eggs
- 1 C. luke warm mashed potatoes
- 7 - 7 1/2 C. all purpose flour
- In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water along with 1 T. of the sugar. Allow to proof for 5 minutes.
- Add in the remaining sugar, shortening, eggs and potatoes. Add 5 C. of the flour and the salt. Beat until smooth (I used a stand mixer for this).
- Turn the dough out onto a heavily floured work surface and knead in as much of the remaining flour as needed to form a good dough. Knead for 5 minutes.
- Place the dough into a greased bowl, cover and allow to rise until double in size (about 1 1/2 - 2 hrs.).
- Punch down the dough and place on a floured surface. Knead about a minute. With floured hands pinch off pieces, just a little bigger than a golf ball, and form into a roll. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Continue with remaining dough.
- Allow the rolls to rise for 1 hour. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on top.
- (Approx. 20-24 rolls) The freeze well.
Enjoy!
