Ingredients

2/3 c. sugar
1/2 c. lukewarm water
1 tsp. salt
1 c. scalded milk
5 or 6 c. flour
1 yeast cake
2/3 c. shortening
1 c. mashed potatoes
2 eggs, well beaten

Preparation

Combine milk, potatoes, shortening, sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Let stand until lukewarm.
Add yeast, softened in water.
Add eggs.
Beat in 1 1/2 cups flour, then add the balance to make a stiff dough.
Turn out on a board and knead thoroughly. Return to greased bowl and butter top, then let rise 2 hours. Chill in refrigerator, but remove 1 1/2 hours before serving time. Roll dough 1/2 inch thick and cut into 2-inch diamonds.
Dip each diamond in melted butter and arrange alternately in layers around a well-buttered mold.
Let rise until double in bulk, then bake at 400\u00b0 for about 20 minutes.
