My mom's famous potato rolls


My mom makes these fantastic rolls for every holiday! They are the perfect rolls with the perfect sweetness! These are so yummy and easy!


Ingredients:
¾ cup butter                                                                       
4 tablespoons sugar                                               
2 teaspoons salt      
1 cup mashed potatoes                                               
2 eggs, well beaten at room temperature
1 ½ cups potato water (saved from boiling potatoes)
1 heaping tablespoon yeast
7 cups flour

Directions:
Important! Save the water you boil the potatoes in!
Cream butter, sugar, and salt in mixer. Blend in mashed potatoes until smooth. Dissolve the yeast in the potato water after water is cooled for 5 minutes. Combine 2 eggs to the dissolved water mixture. Add flour mixture to the liquid and make dough in mixer using a dough hook. Knead till silky, not tough. (Take out dough when it’s not quite done and finish with hand kneading.) Rise in warm place for 1 ½ hours. Punch dough down. Divide into rolls (a little bigger than the size of a golf ball), place in greased 9x13 pan, and let rise for 30 minutes. Bake 375* for 20 minutes. Makes 26 rolls.
