These rolls were very easy and tasty to make. I used instant potatoes to speed things up even more. I agree with the last review that they needed an additional rising agent to help puff them up a little bit. They are definitely worth trying again!

These tiny little soft and slightly sweet rolls were very tasty indeed. My family really enjoyed them. They have a nice texture and when fresh from the oven,they taste like little pockets of mashed potatoes. The only problem I had with them is that they really didn't rise much at all while baking - I think perhaps if an additional rising agent were added they would puff up better when baked. They pretty much stayed the same height as they started out - sort of like a cookie. I plan to make these again as they really were very easy and tasty, but I may experiment next time with a little baking soda and/or salt to help them puff up more.

These are fabulous. I made it even quicker by using instant mashed potatoes and they came out so light and delicious. I made only size from this recipe and perhaps that is why they rose so beautifully too. You just can't roll these too thin .
