These fluffy potato rolls are light, buttery, and extra soft thanks to mashed potatoes in the dough. They’re perfect for holiday dinners, sandwiches, or just slathering with butter. The potatoes keep them moist for days, and they freeze beautifully too!

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)

  • 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted

  • ½ cup mashed potatoes (plain, no seasoning)

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 ½ tsp salt

  • 4 – 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • Optional: additional melted butter for brushing tops

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

  • Mix in the melted butter, mashed potatoes, eggs, and salt. Stir until well combined.

  • Gradually add the flour, 1 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but pull away from the sides of the bowl.

  • Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes by hand or with a mixer fitted with a dough hook, until smooth and elastic.

  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 to 1½ hours.

  • Punch down the dough and divide it into 15–18 pieces. Shape into smooth balls and place in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish or on a parchment-lined sheet.

  • Cover and let rise again for 30–45 minutes, until puffy. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

 

  • Brush with melted butter while warm, if desired. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Leftover mashed potatoes work great—just make sure they’re plain (no garlic or herbs).

  • You can make the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it overnight before shaping and baking.

  • These rolls freeze well once baked. Just reheat in a low oven or microwave until warm.
