Step 2: Cook & Mashed Potatoes & Bloom Your Yeast
Directions:
First, boil your washed and peeled potatoes in a pot until fork tender. Cutting them into cubes will cook them
faster. Once the potatoes are tender enough to be pierce easily with a fork, remove from heat and drain the
water.
Immediately mashed them with a masher/ricer or fork until nice and smooth. Set aside and cool a little.
Next, bloom your one packet of yeast with 1/2 of warm water. Stir and wait for 10 to 15 minutes until it is tall
and frothy.
Step 3: Mix All the Ingredients Together
Scoop only 1 cup of the mashed potatoes from the pot. (you may either discard or eat the few leftover
mashed potatoes)
Using your hands, start mixing the ingredients inside your bowl. It will look overly wet at first, but continue
mixing the dry ingredients together and it should come together slowly.
Once it starts to clump up into one mass, flour your work surface with some flour. Dump your dough and
also ensure to dust some flour at the top of your sticky dough too.
This dough is relatively sticky, just sprinkle a little bit of flour if it gets too impossible to work with.
Alternatively, having a plastic bench scraper will help, scraping any dough stuck on your work
surface.
Step 5: Knead into a Ball
As you slowly gather your dough it will start turning into a loose ball.
Add a little more sprinkling of flour and then start kneading for 5 minutes.
Continue kneading until it forms a tight ball. It's alright if the dough has a few bits of potatoes on the surface.
Once baked, these small bits will disappear.
Step 6: Proof
Place your dough ball in a clean large mixing bowl and cover with saran wrap.
You also need to have a 9 by 13 pan or any baking vessel you wish to baked it in.
Step 8: Roll 'em Away
Turn over your dough and cut them into 16 equal pieces.
Roll each small dough into a tight little ball and then place them into your 9 by 13 in baking pan.
If you ran out of space, you could use other smaller baking pans to baked them in.
Next, place them in a TURN OFF oven and let them rise in it for 45 minutes to an hour until it doubles
in size.
Step 9:
Once your rolls doubled in sized, remove them from your oven.
Bake them at 375 for twenty minutes or until light golden brown on top.
Do not overbake this bun or they will turn out dry and crusty.
Step 11: Butter 'em Buns
Once baked and light golden brown in color, brushed them with melted butter, as little or generous as you
wish.
Serve immediately.
