directions
- If making POTATO ROLLS: Preheat oven to 350°F.

- Add mashed potatoes, vegetable oil, eggs and salt. Use mixer or bread hooks.
- Add flour one cup at a time stopping at 5 1/2 cups. Slowly add remaining flour until the dough is only slightly sticky to the touch. The dough should be workable but not dry.
- Place in a greased bowl and cover with a towel. Allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, or it can sit overnight at room temperature.
- Punch down and then roll dough out on floured surface to 1/2" thickness.
- Use a canning jar ring to cut rolls - should make 30-36 rolls.
- Place on a greased pan and allow to rise till almost doubled.
- Bake in a preheated 350°F oven 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
- If desired, slather outside tops with butter while still warm.
- Enjoy!
- NOTE: Prep time does not include rise times as they will vary.
- If making POTATO BREAD: Place into bread pan in order as listed above OR as per manufacturer's guidelines.
- Set for 1 1/2 lb. bread loaf and start bread machine.
- Walk away until you hear the "ding" of the bread machine - approximately 3 hours later.
- Remove from pan and slather outside of the loaf with butter while still warm from machine.
- Enjoy!

It has taken me a long time to update this page, but this website has been one that I go to every single day (okay, maybe every other day, but you get the idea), so I finally decided I should share a little about myself and my family.
I am a Registered Nurse part-time and a full-time mother of two beautiful daughters. My husband I celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary this year. Being with my family is a great joy to me and cooking for them is a pleasure! I love to try new foods and I am fortunate that so does everyone else in the family (well, except the 5 year old who is "picky" - but at least occasionally starting to try new foods!). RecipeZaar helps me explore new food and has given me many yummy "repeat" recipes that have become "standard" in our home.
Thanks to everyone who posts, reviews and shares tips on this website. Thanks, too, to those who maintain RecipeZaar's website - all your hard work and attention to detail are what set this site way above any other recipe site. It is great to have a "world wide cookbook" at my fingertips!!
