Potato Parkerhouse Rolls

Happy Thanksgiving to all! My mom passed away in May. Listed below is one of her favorite recipes that she passed down to me.

Heat to boil: 1/2 cup milk
Remove and add: 1/4 cup shortening or butter
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unseasoned mashed potatoes
Stir mixture until well blended and then add in order:
1 egg
1 package yeast
Stir until yeast disappears, then add 1/2 of 2 1/2 cups of flour. Beat, then add remainder of flour, mix, and turn out. Knead lightly, forming ball. Cover with cloth and let rise until double. Punch down and roll out and cut into 3 inch rounds. Top each with a dot of butter and fold over and place on baking sheet. Cover with damp cloth and let rise. Bake 10-15 minutes in 400 degree oven.

Enjoy!
