Tried 'n' True: Make rolls with leftover mashed potatoes

By Jackie Lindley
The Tribune-Star

CLARK COUNTY, Ill. This past winter my husband, Gene, and I were in a store in Terre Haute.

Gene got to talking to a woman (surprise, surprise) and she wanted a recipe for mashed potato rolls.

He asked me and I knew I hadn’t made them for a long time so I had to find the recipe.

Looking through some of my books, I finally found it. They are good rolls.

A good way to use leftover mashed potatoes. Debby Young from Newman, Ill., had this recipe.



Grandma Day’s Mashed Potato Rolls

• Cream well:

1⁄2 cup sugar

2⁄3 cup shortening

1 cup mashed potatoes

1 teaspoon salt

• Dissolve:

1 package yeast

1⁄2 cup lukewarm water

1⁄2 teaspoon sugar

2 cups scalded milk

• Add to mashed potato mixture.

• Then add:

6 to 8 cups flour (dough will be rather soft)

• Mix thoroughly and let rise to double.

• Knead thoroughly.

• Set aside to chill several hours in the refrigerator.

• Pinch off rolls and let rise about 11⁄2 hours or until doubled.

• Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.
