Prepare Wet Ingredients:
In a separate small mixing bowl, combine the warm water, mashed potatoes, softened butter, sugar, and salt. -
Mix and Beat:
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on low speed for about 30 seconds, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Then, increase the speed to high and beat for 3 minutes until the dough is smooth and well combined. -
Incorporate Flour:
Gradually stir in the remaining flour using a dough hook attachment if using a mixer, or knead by hand. Add flour slowly until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and forms a cohesive ball. The exact amount of flour may vary depending on factors like humidity, so adjust accordingly. -
Refrigerate the Dough:
Cover the dough and refrigerate it for a minimum of 2 hours, or up to 24 hours to allow the flavors to develop. -
Punch Down and Rest:
After refrigeration, punch down the dough to release any air bubbles. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and let it rest for 10 minutes. -
Prepare Baking Pan:
Grease a 13×9-inch baking pan to prevent sticking. -
Shape the Rolls:
Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces. One helpful method is to divide the dough by cutting it in half, then each half into halves again, and so on until you have 24 pieces. This ensures uniform size. Shape each piece into a ball by gently smoothing the dough between your hands, pushing the edges towards the back. -
Rise and Bake:
Place the shaped rolls in the prepared baking pan. Cover them and let them rise in a warm place until nearly doubled in size, about 40 minutes. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Once risen, bake the rolls for 16 to 20 minutes or until they turn a beautiful golden brown. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These Potato Rolls are best enjoyed warm, served with butter or your favorite spread.
These rolls are not only delicious but also versatile. You can enjoy them alongside soups, stews, or as part of a hearty sandwich. They’re perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a holiday gathering, a potluck dinner, or a cozy family meal. So, roll up your sleeves and get ready to savor the homemade goodness of these delightful Potato Rolls! 🥔🍞
