Golden Potato Dinner Rolls

Ingredients

- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup potato flakes
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast (1 packet)
- 2 large eggs
- 4 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. Prepare the Yeast Mixture:

- Warm the milk in a small saucepan over low heat until it reaches a temperature of about 110°F (43°C).
- Remove the milk from heat and pour it into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the sugar and instant yeast, stirring gently until both are dissolved.
- Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes bubbly and foamy.

2. Combine the Ingredients:

- In the yeast mixture, add the softened unsalted butter, potato flakes, and salt. Stir until well combined.
- Beat the eggs in a small bowl and then add them to the mixing bowl, stirring to incorporate.
- Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour, 1 cup at a time, until a soft dough begins to form.

3. Knead the Dough:

- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
- Knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle with a little extra flour.

4. First Rise:

- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, covering it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap.
- Allow it to rise in a warm area for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

5. Shape the Rolls:

- Once risen, punch down the dough to release the air.
- Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces and shape each piece into a round ball.
- Arrange the balls on a greased baking sheet, making sure they are spaced slightly apart.

6. Second Rise:

- Cover the dough balls with a cloth or plastic wrap.
- Let them rise again for about 30-45 minutes until they have doubled in size.

7. Bake the Rolls:

- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake the rolls for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
