Discover how to make the best mashed potato dinner rolls with this easy-to-follow recipe. Perfect for holiday gatherings, family dinners, or any special occasion, these rolls are soft, fluffy, and packed with flavor.
Step 1: Prepare the Yeast Mixture
Combine warm water, milk, sugar, and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer. Stir until the sugar dissolves and let it rest in a warm place for 5-10 minutes until frothy. If kneading by hand, use a large bowl.
Step 2: Mix the Dough
Add the egg, sea salt, melted butter, and mashed potatoes to the yeast mixture. Whisk until well combined. Gradually add flour, mixing with a dough hook on low-medium speed until a soft dough forms. If kneading by hand, work the dough on a floured surface until smooth.
Step 3: Proof the Dough
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and puncture a few holes for airflow. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until tripled in size.
Step 4: Shape the Rolls
Gently deflate the dough and divide it into 24-30 equal pieces. Dip your hands in olive oil, roll each piece into a ball, and place them in a greased baking pan. Cover with a cloth and let them rise for 15 minutes.
Step 5: Bake and Finish
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake the rolls for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt or garlic powder, and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm and enjoy!
