Potato Pan Rolls

Potato Pan Rolls

4-1/2 to 5 c all-purpose flour
3 T sugar
2 pkgs quick-rise yeast
1-1/2 tsps salt
1-1/4 c water
3 T butter
1/2 c mashed potatoes(prepared without milk or butter)
Additional all-purpose flour

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt.

In a saucepan, heat water and butter to 120º-130º. Add dry
ingredients; beat until smooth. Stir in mashed potatoes and enough
remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto floured surface;
knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Cover and let
rest for 10 minutes.

Divide into 16 pieces. Shape each into a ball. Place in two
greased 8" or 9" round baking pans. Cover and let rise in a warm
place until doubled, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with additional
flour. Bake at 400º for 18 to 22 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
