Ingredients
- ½ cup cooked mashed potatoes
- 1 cup milk (260g) at room temperature
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (48g) at room temperature
- 3 ½ cups all purpose flour (525g)
- ¼ cup sugar (60g)
- 2 teaspoon salt (16g)
- 2 ¼ teaspoon instant yeast (8g)
- 1 egg to make an egg wash
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil to oil bowl
Instructions
- Potatoes. If you don't have it ready, make your mashed potatoes. Take about 2 small raw potatoes, wash, peel, and cut them into ½ inch thick cubes. Cook for 12 minutes or until tender in about 5 cups of water. Mash and save ½ cup of mashed potatoes for the recipe.
- Mix everything. In a big bowl, add milk, butter, potato, yeast, sugar, salt, and flour. Mix all of these ingredients until there's almost no loose flour left in your bowl. Then transfer your mix to a flat surface and knead the dough for 10 minutes.
- First rise. In a large, clean bowl, add 1 teaspoon of oil to grease it. Put the dough in the bowl and move it around to oil the top of the dough. Cover with plastic wrap and let the dough rise for 1 hour.
- Shape the dough. Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces. You can measure with a food scale so each ball weighs approximately 125g, or just eyeball it. Now shape each piece by flattening the top and then folding all the pieces in, bringing those folds to the middle. After, take your dough ball and roll it inside your hand against your counter to form a round shape.
- Second rise. Place your dough balls into a baking pan lined with parchment paper. I used a 10.5 x 15.5 baking pan. Cover the dough with a plastic wrap and let your bread rise for 1 hour or until your potato bread rolls have doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Bake. In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush the top of every bun. Make sure to cover the sides as well. Bake for 20 minutes. But rotate the tray after 12 minutes to ensure even browning. Enjoy!

Notes
- Ingredients- Use all your ingredients at room temperature before preparing.
- Flour- I got 150g of flour per cup, but this can vary depending on how you scoop and measure the flour. That's why I suggest using a food scale for better precision.
- Potatoes- To get ½ cup of mashed potatoes, I used 2 small potatoes that were about 200g raw. You can use russet or yellow potatoes for this recipe
- Proofing the bread- When cold, proof the bread in your oven with the light on. The time will depend on how cold or hot your kitchen is.
- Bun Size- You can make the bun as small or as big as you like.
