Potato Crescent Rolls

This is another MIL recipe. And you guessed it, it has mashed potatoes in it. The missionaries came over and we served this with stew, yes it is cool enough to have stew! I updated it with pictures.

1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. warm water
1 Tbsp. yeast
1/4 c. butter
1 c. cooled mashed potatoes
2 eggs
3-4 cups flour
1 tsp. salt


Dissolve yeast in water in a mixing bowl. Add remaining ingredients except flour. Stir well. Add 2 cups of flour. If you are using a stand mixer switch to the dough hook here. Add remaining flour until dough is elastic and not sticky. Let rest for 10 minutes.
Form rolls. Cover, let rise for at least 2 hours. Bake at 350 F for about 15 minutes.

Would you like to know how to form the rolls?

Split dough into 4 pieces. Roll each out into a circle
and cut into 6 wedges (8 if you want them small),

then roll from the outside edge toward the point

Curve the edges in and place on a grease cookie sheet.

This recipe will fill up a 15x10 pan.

After they are risen

Fresh out of the oven!
