Step-by-step
- Dissolve yeast in ½ cup warm water and let stand 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine yeast mixture, 1 ½ cups warm milk, ¾ cup potato flakes, ½ cup butter, ½ cup sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt. Mix well.
- Stir in 2 slightly beaten egg yolks and ½ cup flour. Cover with a towel, plastic wrap, or aluminum foil, and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts for 30 minutes. (Batter will look spongy.)
- Gradually stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place 1 hour, or until dough is doubled in bulk.
- Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly-floured surface, and roll out to ¼-inch to 3/8-inch thickness. Cut into 2 ½-inch circles.
- Brush with melted butter. Make a crease across each circle, and fold over to make the rolls into Parkerhouse-style. Gently press edges to seal.
- Place on greased cookie sheets, and let rise in a warm place 20 minutes, or until dough is doubled in bulk.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
As a busy housewife, I am always looking for ways to make my life easier. When it comes to cooking, I want recipes that are simple, delicious, and fit my budget. These Holiday Potato Yeast Rolls are all of those things and more.
I love that I can make these rolls ahead of time. I can shape them and place them in pans, then cover and refrigerate or freeze them. When I'm ready to bake them, I just take them out of the refrigerator or freezer and let them come to room temperature. Then, I let them rise for 20 minutes before baking. They are just as good as freshly made rolls!
