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.
