Bread Or Rolls - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 medium potatoes, peeled and cooked
2 envelopes active dry yeast
1/2 c. sugar or honey
1/2 c. or 1 stick butter or margarine
1/4 c. shortening
2 eggs, beaten
2 tsp. salt
6 to 7 c. flour

Preparation

Cook potatoes in water until done, soft. Drain, reserving one cup liquid from potatoes. Mash potatoes. Place 1/2 c. very warm, not hot, potato water in a bowl. Dissolve 1 tsp. sugar and the yeast in the water, let stand. Place sugar, salt, margarine and shortening in the hot mashed potatoes. Mix in well with mixer. Add the other 1/2 c. of potato water. Put this mixture in a very large bowl. Cool until very warm (not hot).
Mix in yeast then eggs. Add two cups of flour and beat with mixer. Add flour until you have a very nice soft dough, about 6 cups. Put the rest of the flour on dough board or counter. Place dough on the flour and knead until smooth and elastic. Grease a very large pan or bowl and put the dough into the bowl, turning over to grease the top. Cover with a light towel and let rise until double in bulk. Make into rolls or loaves of bread. Bake at 375\u00b0 for 15 to 20 minutes. Butter tops of rolls or bread when removed from oven.
