Instructions
- 1 Dissolve yeast in warm water in a bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
- 2 Mix milk, mashed potatoes, shortening, sugar, and salt together in a bowl.
- 3 Add yeast mixture and egg.
- 4 Stir in 2 cups flour until incorporated. Stir in remaining 2 ½ cups flour to make a soft dough.
- 5 Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 7 minutes.
- 6 Place dough into a lightly greased bowl and turn once to coat all sides with oil.
- 7 Cover the bowl and set in a warm place until dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- 8 Punch dough down and shape into a ball. Cover the bowl and let rest for 10 minutes.
- 9 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease two baking sheets.
- 10 Shape dough into 24 rolls. Place rolls onto the prepared baking sheets and let rise until dough springs back when you touch the side of a roll with your fingertip, 25 to 40 minutes.
- 11 Bake rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
