The secret ingredient that makes this bread roll recipe fit its "Feather Rolls" moniker? Mashed potatoes! Once you learn how to make rolls with spuds, you'll never skip that step again.

Provided by BHG Test Kitchen

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4.25 - 4.75 cup all-purpose flour
1 package active dry yeast
1.5 cup warm water (120°F to 130°F)
0.5 cup mashed cooked potato
0.333 cup butter, melted
0.25 cup sugar
1.25 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon butter, melted

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of the flour and the yeast. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the warm water, mashed potato, the 1/3 cup melted butter, the sugar, and salt. Add potato mixture to flour mixture. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping sides of bowl constantly. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Using a wooden spoon, stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately soft dough that is smooth and elastic (3 to 5 minutes total). Place dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the surface. Cover; chill for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
  • Punch down dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Cover; let rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, grease a 13x9x2-inch baking pan. With lightly floured hands, shape dough into 15 rolls. Arrange rolls in prepared pan. Cover; let rise in warm place until nearly double in size (about 40 minutes).
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake about 25 minutes or until rolls are golden and sound hollow when lightly tapped. Immediately remove from pan. Invert so tops are up. Brush tops with the 2 tablespoons melted butter. Serve warm.

POTATO ROLLS

I have been eating these rolls since I was a kid. I don't know where they started out, but I remember my grandmother making them. They freeze well and taste great split open and toasted.

Time 2h45m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
¼ cup warm water
1 cup scalded milk, cooled
½ cup prepared mashed potatoes
¼ cup vegetable shortening
¼ cup white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 egg, beaten
4 ½ cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast in warm water in a bowl. Let stand until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
  • Mix milk, mashed potatoes, shortening or butter (see Cook's Note), sugar, and salt together in a bowl; add yeast mixture and egg. Stir 2 cups flour into the milk mixture until incorporated. Stir in remaining 2 cups flour to make a soft dough.
  • Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 7 minutes. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to coat all sides of dough with oil. Cover bowl and put in a warm place until dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Punch dough down and shape into a ball. Cover the bowl and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.
  • Shape dough into 24 rolls and place onto prepared baking sheets; let rise until dough springs back when you touch the side of a roll with your fingertip, about 25 to 40 minutes.
  • Bake rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.

POTATO ROLLS

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 3h16m

Yield 24 rolls, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 cups all-purpose flour
1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups water (105 to 115 F)
1/2 cup mashed potatoes
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In large bowl combine 2 cups of the flour and the yeast.
  • In small mixing bowl combine warm water, potatoes, butter, sugar and salt.
  • Add to dry ingredients in mixing bowl.
  • Beat with electric mixer for 30 seconds on low, scraping side of bowl.
  • Beat on high speed for 3 minutes.
  • Stir in remaining flour with a dough hook (or knead by hand), as needed (with most bread recipes the actual amount of flour required depends on humidity, etc. so add slowly until dough pulls away from sides of pan and forms a ball).
  • Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours.
  • Punch dough down.
  • Turn out on lightly floured surface.
  • Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Grease 13x9-inch baking pan.
  • Shape dough into 24 rolls.
  • I divide by cutting dough piece in half and then each of those pieces in half--continuing until I have 24 pieces.
  • That helps to get a more uniform size.
  • Make balls by holding dough in both hands and gently smoothing by pushing the edges towards the back.
  • Place rolls in prepared pan.
  • Cover and let rise in a warm place until nearly doubled in size (about 40 minutes).
  • Bake at 400°F for 16 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips:

  • For a crispier crust, brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter before baking.
  • If you don't have a stand mixer, you can mix the dough by hand. Just be sure to knead it for at least 10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • If you don't have a thermometer, you can check the internal temperature of the rolls by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the rolls are done.
  • Serve the rolls warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam.

Conclusion:

Feather bed potato rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are soft and fluffy on the inside, with a crispy crust on the outside. The potato flakes add a unique flavor and texture to the rolls, making them a favorite among many. Whether you are serving them at a holiday dinner or a casual get-together, feather bed potato rolls are sure to be a hit.
