GRANDMA'S EASY POTATO ROLLS
These fluffy rolls (King Arthur Baking) are easy to mix up in a jiffy, since they take potato flour instead of mashed potatoes (potato flakes can be substituted). I mix them in my bread machine and the dough is silky and easy to shape. They turn out "picture perfect." They work out perfectly if you shape into 16 balls and put in 2 round pans (8 each).

MY GRANDMA'S POTATO ROLLS OR POTATO BREAD (FOR BREAD MACHINE)
This is my Grandma's recipe and it is DELISH! I am not sure where she got it from, but these rolls have been a tradition in our family for as long as I can remember. This recipe uses REAL mashed potatoes (not instant flakes). So, when you plan to make this be sure to reserve 1/2 to 1 c. of the mashed potatoes you served at dinner the night before!! Today I was hungry for these rolls but didn't feel like rolling out dough, so I attempted to make the recipe (cut in half) in my bread machine to make a loaf of bread instead....PERFECT results! I have listed the ingredients the way my bread machine lists them, but do be sure to check manufacturer's instructions on the correct order of ingredients for your specific machine. I hope everyone enjoys this as much as our family does. Below are both the rolls and the bread machine versions of this recipe.

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.

Steps:
- 1. Combine potato and water in a small saucepan. Simmer, covered, until the potato is tender, abut 10 minutes;slip off the peels. Mash or puree the potatoe with its water (do not drain; you want the water). Pour the potato-water mixture into a 2 cup glass measuring cup and add additional water to make 1 2/3 cups. Cool to room temperature.
- 2. Place all the ingredients in order specified by the manufacturer of your machine; adding the potato mixture with the liquid ingredients. Set crust to medium and program for the Basic cycle. This recipe will not work with the Delay Timer function. Immediately remove bread from the bread pan and place it on a rack. Let cool to room temperature before slicing. Yeild 1 (2 lb) loaf.
Tips:
- Use fresh yeast for the best results. If using active dry yeast, proof it in warm water with a little sugar before adding it to the bread machine. Use warm water for the liquid ingredients, as it will help the yeast to activate and produce a light and fluffy bread.
- Add the salt and sugar according to your taste preferences. If you prefer a sweeter bread, add a little more sugar. If you prefer a saltier bread, add a little more salt.
- Add the potatoes to the bread machine after they have been cooked and mashed. This will help to prevent the potatoes from becoming too dry and dense in the bread.
- If you are using a bread machine with a dough setting, use it to knead the dough for the first 5-10 minutes. This will help to develop the gluten in the dough and make it more elastic.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size. This will help to create a light and airy bread.
- Bake the bread according to the manufacturer's instructions for your bread machine. This will typically involve setting the bread machine to the "bake" setting and baking the bread for about an hour, or until it is golden brown.
