Potato Refrigerator Rolls
Welcome to our "favorite family recipes" blog. I decided it would be a good idea to separate the recipes from the regular blog entries, and this is the result. I wish I could cook and bake for all of you, but this will have to do. After all, remember the Chinese proverb: "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." There won't be many fish recipes here, but we hope you enjoy what you do find. Feel free to ask if you have any questions!! And to start off, here are some pictures to go with our favorite cinnamon roll recipe.
Potato Refrigerator Rolls
1 Tbl yeast
1 ½ cups warm water
2/3 cup sugar
1 ½ tsp salt
2/3 cup shortening
2 eggs
1 cup lukewarm mashed potatoes
7-8 cups flour
7-8 cups flour
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in sugar, salt, shortening, eggs, potatoes (I usually just add dry potato flakes with some extra water/milk) and 4 cups of the flour. Beat until smooth. Mix in enough of the remaining flour to make a dough. Knead several minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place in a greased bowl. Cover bowl tightly and refrigerate until ready to use – up to 5 days.
Filling for cinnamon rolls:butter, brown sugar, cinnamon to taste
Cinnamon Roll Frosting
½ cup melted butter

5 cups powdered sugar
5 cups powdered sugar
Combine all ingredients.
I love your recipe blog! I made the attempt of starting one last year but have never worked on it since. Anyway - have you ever tried using instant mashed potatoes in this recipe? Just wondering! I definitely want to give this a try.
ReplyDeleteI almost ALWAYS use instant mashed potatoes in this recipe. And I don't even bother mixing them first. I just add the dry potato flakes with the flour and increase the liquid. (For 1 cup mashed potatoes it would be 1/2 cup flakes, 1/2 cup water and 1/4 cup milk.)
