POTATO BREAD (FOR BREAD MACHINE)
1/2 cup water, lukewarm
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup honey (do NOT add honey if planning to use sugar. Honey is listed here because it should be added with liqu)
1 egg, whole
1 egg, separated, use white only
1/2 cup mashed potatoes, REAL (leftovers work great!)
3 cups bread flour
1/2 cup sugar (do NOT add sugar if using honey)

Preparation

If making POTATO ROLLS: Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F.
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in 1 cup warm water. Allow the yeast to activate and then mix in sugar or honey.
Add mashed potatoes, vegetable oil, eggs and salt. Use mixer or bread hooks.
Add flour one cup at a time stopping at 5 1/2 cups. Slowly add remaining flour until the dough is only slightly sticky to the touch. The dough should be workable but not dry.
Place in a greased bowl and cover with a towel. Allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, or it can sit overnight at room temperature.
Punch down and then roll dough out on floured surface to 1/2\" thickness.
Use a canning jar ring to cut rolls - should make 30-36 rolls.
Place on a greased pan and allow to rise till almost doubled.
Bake in a preheated 350\u00b0F oven 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
If desired, slather outside tops with butter while still warm.
Enjoy!
NOTE: Prep time does not include rise times as they will vary.
If making POTATO BREAD: Place into bread pan in order as listed above OR as per manufacturer's guidelines.
Set for 1 1/2 lb. bread loaf and start bread machine.
Walk away until you hear the \"ding\" of the bread machine - approximately 3 hours later.
Remove from pan and slather outside of the loaf with butter while still warm from machine.
Enjoy!
