Ingredients

Scale

4 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast

2 2/3 cups warm water (110° to 115°), divided

2 cups warm mashed potatoes (plain – no milk or butter)

1 1/3 cups sugar

1 1/3 cups shortening

4 large eggs, room temperature

5 teaspoons salt

12 to 13 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

Activate Yeast: In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 2/3 cup of the warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.

Mix Base Ingredients: Stir in the mashed potatoes, sugar, shortening, eggs, salt, and the remaining warm water. Mix well.

Add Flour: Gradually add flour, 1 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.

Knead: Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.

First Rise: Place in a greased bowl, turning once to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm spot until doubled, about 1 to 1.5 hours.

Shape Rolls: Punch down dough, divide, and shape into rolls. Place on greased baking sheets.

Second Rise: Cover and let rise again until nearly doubled, about 30-45 minutes.

Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly before serving.
