(Or, Perfect Potato Rolls... depending on your spelling ;)

Boil 1 cup of mik, for one minutes. Add a stick of butter or margarine and melt into milk.

In a large bowl, add potatoes, milk and butter plus an extra cup and a half of water. The mixture should be warm, but not too hot.

Add 2.5 tsp yeast and mix

Add 2 cups White Flour and mix. It should still be too wet for kneading

Add sugar until slightly sweet. Approx 1/2 cup. More or less to taste

Let sit for 15 min for yeast to 'waken"

Add 2 tsp salt, possibly more to taste and mix. If you do this immediately after you add the yeast it will kill the yeast. I know you're hungry but the 15 min wait is important.

Add flour till ready to knead.

Knead for 10 min til smooth and place in bowl to rise in a warm place, covered for at least 1/2 hour.

Punch down and re-knead. Cut into quarters and start dividing quarters into golf ball sized rolls. Big golf balls, not small ones.

Let rolls rise in pan covered for another 1/2 hour while over preheats to 350.

Bake until tops are just barely golden. Cool for a minute and serve!!!
