Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cups leftover mashed potatoes (any flavor), hot, cold or luke warm all work!
1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons hot milk
1 Tablespoons yeast
1/4 cup warm water
2 Tablespoons + 1/2 cup sugar + 2 cups sugar, divided
2 large eggs
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup salted butter, melted
4 1/4 cups flour
2 1/2 cups of melted butter (or more), divided. I use salted
LOTS of cinnamon. You want to be generous.
--------------------------
1 (8 ounce) package of cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar
1 Tablespoon heavy whipping cream (or milk)

Steps:

  • In a mixer with a dough hook, blend mashed potatoes and milk. Let cool to a warm but not hot temperature. Add yeast, water and 2 Tablespoons of sugar. Mix well and cover with a dish towel. Let mixture sit for 5 - 10 minutes, allowing yeast to poof and activate. Add eggs, 1/2 cup sugar, salt, and melted butter. Blend well. Add flour 1/2 cup at a time until all flour has been mixed in or until dough no longer sticks to the sides of bowl. Coat a large bowl with cooking spray. Add dough and then spray top of dough with cooking spray. Cover with a dish towel and let sit for 1 hour in a draft free spot or until mixture is doubled in size. After mixture has doubled, take all your anger out on it and punch it a few times. Preheat oven to 350*F. Prepare a jelly roll cookie sheet pan by spraying generously with cooking spray or use non-stick foil or a liner. Grab half the dough and roll out into a rectangle. Dough should be a quarter inch thick. The thicker the dough, the thicker the cinnamon rolls. Pour 1 1/4 cup melted butter gently over dough. Spread around to cover entire dough. Sprinkle with 1 cup of sugar and a generous amount of cinnamon. Using your hands or a spatula, spread cinnamon and sugar around until butter is absorbed into it. Starting with the long side, roll up gently like a cinnamon log. Using a knife or dental floss, cut cinnamon rolls into 3/4 inch thick slices. Place on prepared jelly roll pan. Once pan is filled, bake for 15 - 18 minutes or until golden. Cinnamon rolls with double or triple in size. Repeat the same process for the other half of the dough. -------------------------- In a separate bowl combine cream cheese and butter. Mix well. Add vanilla and powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time mixing well after each addition until all sugar is incorporated. Add whipping cream and blend. Spread on cooled cinnamon rolls and devour!

These cinnamon rolls were delicious! The mashed potatoes made them so moist and fluffy, and the cinnamon sugar filling was the perfect amount of sweetness. I will definitely be making these again.

These cinnamon rolls were a bit too dense for my taste, but they were still very good. I think I'll try using less mashed potatoes next time.

I'm not a big fan of cinnamon rolls, but I thought these were pretty good. They were very moist and fluffy, and the cinnamon sugar filling was not too sweet.

These cinnamon rolls were a bit too dry for my taste, but they were still very good. I think I'll try adding more milk to the dough next time.

These cinnamon rolls were a disaster. The dough was too sticky and the rolls were too dense. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
