Hi everyone! Today is going to be a easy one, Flu y Potato Dinner Rolls! These rolls are so incredible, you just have to
give them a try. So delicate, so airy and with a slight saltiness from the butter, whether it's a side to your main dish
or on it's own, you and your guest will wipe the whole tray clean.

So let's get to it shall we? :D

Step 1: Ingredients

Ing re die nt s :
2 medium size Russet potatoes, washed and peeled
3 cups of all purpose our
2 tablespoon of white granulated sugar
1 teaspoon of salt
4 tablespoon of soften salted butter
3/4 cup of whole milk
1 egg
Step 2: Cook & Mashed Potatoes & Bloom Your Yeast
Directions:
First, boiled 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.

1 packet ( 2 and 1/2 teaspoon) of rapid rise yeast
1/2 cup of warm water
Als o :
1/4 cup of milk (for washing before baking)
3 table spoon of salted butter, melted (for brushing
baked buns)
Culinary brush
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)

In a large mixing bowl, pour all of your ingredients together.

Step 4: Mix & Gather

Using your hands, start mixing the ingredients inside
your bowl. It will look overly wet at rst, but continue
mixing the dry ingredients together and it should
come together slowly.
Once it starts to clump up into one mass, our your
work surface with some our. Dump your dough and
also ensure to dust some our at the top of your sticky
dough too.

Step 5: Knead Into a Ball

As you slowly gather your dough it will start turning into a loose ball.

At a little more sprinkling of our and then start kneading for 5 minutes.

Continue kneading until it forms a tight ball. It's alright if the dough as a few bits of potatoes on the surface. Once
baked, these small bits will disapear.

Step 6: Proof

Place your dough ball in a clean large mixing bowl and cover with saran wrap.

Let rise/proof for one hour until it doubles in size.

Step 7: Time to Make Rolls!

Once double in size, remove and discard the plastic wrap.

Punch the air of your dough.

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

Flour your work surface to prevent any sticking.
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.

Step 11: Butter 'em Buns

Once baked and light golden brown in color, brushed them with your melted butter.

Serve immediately.

Step 12:

This buns are incredibly soft and have a light crust
that will soften up shortly after being brushed by
butter.
For storage (if there's any left that is, which I highly
doubt!), I encourage that you wrap them up in pairs
with a saran wrap at room temperature for no more
than two days. Because they are so tender, ensure to
keep them in a container if you are packing them for
lunch because any slight bump will squish them easy!
