Ice Box Potato Rolls

Ingredients:
– 1 cup warm milk
– 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
– 1/2 cup sugar
– 1/3 cup melted butter
– 1 cup mashed potatoes
– 2 eggs
– 1 tsp salt
– 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– Additional melted butter for brushing

Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the warm milk and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast activates and becomes foamy.
2. Add the sugar, melted butter, mashed potatoes, eggs, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined.
3. Gradually add the flour to the mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
6. After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 24 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased 9×13-inch baking pan, leaving a little space between each roll.
7. Cover the pan with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise again for about 30 minutes.
8. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
9. Brush the risen rolls with melted butter.
10. Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped.
11. Remove the rolls from the oven and brush them with more melted butter for a shiny finish.
12. Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these delicious Ice Box Potato Rolls warm with a pat of butter or your favorite savory spread.
