Potato Rolls
 

This was one of my favorite things for Thanksgiving and Christmas
dinners. The bride's mother was an excellent cook, and took a lot
of pride in her potato rolls. I had to dig the recipe out for a
friend, and thought I'd go ahead and post it here as well.



1 cake yeast
1/2 cup lukewarm water
2/3 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar
6-8 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 cup mashed potatoes
1 cup scalded milk
2 eggs


Mash potatoes, add shortening, sugar, salt & eggs. Dissolve yeast
in lukewarm water and add to lukewarm milk, then add to potato
mixture.
Add sifted flour to make stiff dough. Toss on floured board and
knead well. Put into a large bowl and let rise until double in
bulk. Knead lightly
and rub over top with melted butter. Place in refrigerator until
ready to bake. About 1.5 hours before baking time, pinch off
dough, shape into rolls as desired. Cover and let rise until
light.


Bake 400 degrees (it doesn't say for how long)

What does it mean when drool runs

Congressman's mouth?

The floor is level.

Many Thanks! I'll be trying them tomorrow using the leftover 'taters
from Thanksgiving.
