Today we’re sharing an irresistible recipe that will make your mouth water: Fluffy Homemade Potato Rolls! With an incredibly soft texture and delicious flavor, these rolls are perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack. Served with a pat of melting butter, they are a true delight you have to try.
Ingredients:
- 10.5 oz (approx. 300g) cooked and mashed potatoes (about 2 medium potatoes)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup (approx. 130ml) warm milk
- 1 1/8 teaspoons active dry yeast (half a standard 1/4 oz packet)
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil (or 4 tablespoons melted butter)
- Approximately 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (amount may vary)
- 1 egg yolk mixed with a splash of water (for egg wash)
How to make Fluffy Potato Rolls:
- Boil the potatoes until very tender. Mash them while still warm and mix in 2 tablespoons of butter to prevent drying. Set aside.
- In a bowl, combine the warm milk with the yeast, salt, and sugar. Let it sit for a few minutes until it gets foamy.
- Add the egg and oil (or melted butter) to the milk mixture. Mix well.
- Gradually add the flour, mixing until the dough starts to pull away from your hands. The flour amount may vary, so add it slowly until you reach the right consistency.
- Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise until doubled in size (about 40 minutes to 1 hour).
- Divide the dough into small portions and shape into balls. Place the balls on a greased baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
- Brush the rolls with the egg wash for a golden finish.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 30 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown.
- Enjoy!
Pro Tip:
For a special touch, add fillings to the dough balls before shaping them. Cream cheese or mozzarella are excellent options.
