There’s almost nothing better than homemade bread or rolls is there? Nothing store bought can even come close to that warm, fresh from the oven taste.

Making rolls can be a little bit of a pain, but this recipe is well worth it because not only can you use up your leftover mashed potatoes (why does there seem to always just be 1 scant serving left?) but this dough will keep in the refrigerator all week long. There’s enough dough for at least 3 batches, so put in a little time Sunday evening making the dough and you can have fresh from the oven rolls 3 nights that week.

That will put a smile on everyone’s face. 🙂

Even better, this dough does not require any kneading and you don’t even need to use a mixer. I mix everything the old-fashioned way, with a big wooden spoon, in a large mixing bowl.

The potatoes, plus the yeast, baking soda, and baking powder make the rolls light as a feather!

PREP: 2 hours
COOK: 18 minutes
TOTAL: 2 hours 18 minutes
SERVINGS: 3 dozen

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 2 cups warm milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup mashed potatoes
  • 3 (1/4-ounce) packets active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup warm water, 105 to 115 degrees
  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 6 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, stir together the shortening, warm milk, sugar, and mashed potatoes.
  • In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Add to ingredients in the bowl.
  • Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt onto a piece of wax paper or parchment paper.
  • Stir the eggs into the mashed potato/yeast mixture. As you stir them in, gradually start adding the flour mixture.
  • Once everything is mixed together well, cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Either let dough rise at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours (if you want to bake that day) or let dough rise overnight in refrigerator. Since this dough makes enough for about 3 dozen rolls, I typically section out 1/3 of the dough to rise at room temperature and put the rest in the refrigerator. (It will keep a good 3-5 days.)
  • Once dough has doubled in bulk, shape it into balls a little bigger than a golf ball and place in a greased cake pan. Let rise until doubled in bulk, about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Bake in a 375 degree oven until golden brown, about 15 to 18 minutes.
