Ingredients

1 package yeast

1/4 cup warm water

1/2 cup hot plain mashed potatoes

1 egg

1/4 cup Crisco shortening

1-1/2 teaspoons salt

1 cup milk, scalded

1/4 cup sugar

4 to 4-1/2 cups sifted flour

Soften yeast in water. In a large bowl, combine potatoes, shortening, sugar, salt, and hot milk. Cool to warm. Add yeast and egg. Stir in 2 cups of the flour; beat well. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead 6 to 9 minutes, then form into a ball and lightly grease with vegetable oil. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double (about 1 hour).

Punch down and shape into ball. Let rest 10 minutes. Cut ball in fourths, then cut each piece into fourths. Form each into a smooth ball. Place the 16 balls on a greased baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Snip balls almost to center in 3 places with scissors. Lightly spray the tops with a little water. Let rise again in a warm place until double (about 1 hour).

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes just until golden. Brush them with melted butter when still hot. Yum!

Makes: 16 golden rolls
