These are seriously the best potato rolls ever. They are so soft and seriously melt in your mouth. This is a favorite recipe in our home and we hope you enjoy them too!!
Potato Rolls
3/4 Cup Sugar
3/4 Shortening
3 Cups Scalded Milk
1 Cup Potato Flakes
1 Tb Salt
Mix the above ingredients until lukewarm.
4 Eggs
1 Tb SAF Instant Yeast or 2 Tb Fleishmans yeast (we use fleishman)
7 Cups Flour
Slowly add the remaining ingredients and stir until the dough has come together, but is still soft. Sometimes we only use like 6- 6 1/2 cups of flour. This is not like a bread dough. It is a slightly sticky dough.
Let dough rise for one hour. Push down and dive dough into 3 parts.
Roll out to 1/2″ thick and butter 1/2 of dough. Fold the dough over and cut into 1″ wide strips.
Tie into knots and place on cookie sheet. Let rise for 1-2 hours more.
Bake at 350 until golden brown, (14-20 min)

Does anybody ever try your recipes?! Cause I always just see that “looks” so good! I try lots of your recipes and they taste great! These rolls are AWESOME! The best I have ever had. I made them for Conner's birthday dinner and I fed 20 people with like four left over. They were so huge and still I got around 26 or so rolls. DELICIOUS!

Thanks for your comment on my cake. It really was delicious and so easy. You should try it sometime. Thanks for the advice on the rolls. I’ll just wait to make them for a family dinner or something when I can make a full batch. Can’t wait!

I’ve always wanted to make my own rolls from scratch, but always found it intimidating since most of the time I’d be making them for a holiday get together. Those look so good, I’m going to have to try!

We have halved the recipe, and while it does work I always think it is a little different. So, we will make the whole batch, but make the rolls bigger and then invite someone over. So this fed 4 with about 5 left over. Not too bad!

We love potato rolls, but I haven’t made them at home. This sounds like a great, easy recipe.
