Easy Potato Rolls - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup shortening
1 cup mashed potatoes
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 eggs
2 (1/4 ounce) packages yeast
1 1/3 cups water, divided (110 to 115 degrees)
6 - 6 1/2 cups plain flour (I use bread flour)

Preparation

In a large bowl, cream sugar& shortening.
Add potatoes, salt and eggs.
In a small bowl dissolve yeast in 2/3 cups warm water; add to creamed mixture.
Beat in 2 cups flour & remaining water.
Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Shape into ball.
(Don't knead) Put in greased bowl and turn to grease top.
Cover and rise 1 hour.
Punch down.
Divide into 3 parts.
Shape each part into 15 balls and put into 3 pans.
Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
Bake at 375\u00b0 for 20-25 minutes.
Remove from pans and cool on wire racks.
(I use instant mashed potatoes, prepared).
May be frozen.
I also make them earlier than needed and cook them only until firm so I can finish cooking them just before my meal.
