Mashed Potato Dinner Rolls recipe

1/2 cup shortening
2 cups lukewarm milk
1 cup hot mashed potatoes
1 package dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2/3 cup granulated sugar
About 6 cups all-purpose flour

Mix shortening, potatoes, salt and sugar.

Dissolve yeast in milk. Add to potatoes.

Beat eggs in a large bowl. Pour in potato mixture and stir well with a spoon. Add enough flour to make a soft dough. Rub surface with a little oil. Cover with dish towel and leave in a warm place until doubled in bulk.

Use hands to form rolls about the size of a large egg. Place in large greased muffin tins. Let rise again and bake at 450 degrees F for 10 minutes.

Makes 5 dozen rolls.
