ingredients
directions
- Boil the potato until tender. Drain, reserving 3/4 cup of the cooking water. Mash the potato and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the hot potato cooking water, sugar, butter, and salt. Let stand until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm (105 degrees to 115 degrees F).
- Stir in the yeast and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Beat in the egg and potato by hand.
- Using a wooden spoon, stir in as much of the flour as you can. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 3 to 5 minutes, adding enough flour to make a moderately soft dough.
- Place in an oiled bowl, turning to coat all sides with oil.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 to 1-1/2 hours.
- Punch the dough down.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to a 1/2-inch thickness and cut with a 3-inch round cutter.
- Place the rounds 1/4 inch apart on a lightly greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 30 to 45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack to cool.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
DH of 32 years & I are (most of the time) empty nesters, with 2 DD & 2 DS (ages 29, 27, & twins 23). Have lived in the Sioux Falls, SD area since 1984.
As the oldest daughter of a working mom, having to get supper started was the beginning of my love of cooking. Learning & experimenting with what to "throw in" is half the fun, and anyone who says they can't cook is really saying they don't have the patience or interest (IMHO)! ;-) Using fresh produce from the garden is absolutely my favorite thing to do - winter in South Dakota can get loooong with "cardboard" produce from the grocer. Having grown up in the service, we were exposed to lots of different cultural foods. With a mom who also loved to cook, variety & trying new foods was a true treat!
DD (grrrl genius) joined RecipeZaar at the same time I did, and she'd like me to get *all* my recipes uploaded and use the site, rather than my sending paper copies. We'll see how quickly I accomplish that !
