Champion Refrigerator Potato Rolls

This recipe performs like a champion, and can be adapted to several variations. See notes below...


Step-by-Step Instructions



Dissolve yeast in water; set aside. In a large bowl, combine butter or shortening, sugar, salt, potatoes and potato water; let cool to lukewarm (110-115 degrees F). 



Add yeast, eggs, 2 cups of flour and lemon zest; beat 2 minutes. Gradually add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead until smooth and elastic, 15 minutes by hand or with a dough hook. 



Place in lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat.*** Cover; let rise in a warm (80 degrees F) place until double. Punch down, cover, and let rise again. 


Bake 13-14 minutes in a preheated 400 degrees F oven. Remove rolls and cool on wire racks. Makes 36 rolls. 

Flip 'em Rolls: Divide dough into thirds. Roll each third into a 13-14 inch circle. Using a pizza cutter, evenly divide circle into 12 wedge-shaped pieces. Pick up each triangle at the wide edge and flip the dough toward you. Pinch the point to the roll to prevent unrolling and lay point-side-down on a lightly greased baking sheet, shaping into a crescent roll. 

Notes:

Three medium potatoes boiled in 3 cups water will yield about 1 cup mashed potatoes.

Half of the flour may be whole wheat flour.

Dough may be placed in a sealable bowl and refrigerated 1-2 days. Punch down dough as necessary.
