Best Ever Potato Rolls

from the kitchen of Stephanie

2/3 C sugar
2/3 C butter
1 C mashed potatoes (I use 3/4 C hot water and 1/3-1/2 C potato pearls to make 1 cup potatoes)
2 ½ tsp salt
2 eggs
2/3 C warm water
2 pkgs yeast or 4 ½ tsp yeast
2 C flour
2/3 C warm water
4 C flour (aprox)

In large bowl, cream sugar and butter. Add mashed potatoes, salt and eggs. In small bowl, dissolve water and yeast. Add to other bowl. Beat in 2 cups flour and 2/3 cup warm water. Add enough remaining flour or form a soft dough, about 4 cups. Shape in ball, place in greased bowl. Cover and let rise about 1 hour. Form into rolls. I use half the dough and roll out in a large circle. I then cut into pizza slices and roll up like crescent rolls. Cover and let rise. Bake at 375 for 15 minutes or until light brown. Makes 45 rolls. Also works great for cinnamon rolls!
