Holiday Potato Yeast Rolls
Instructions
1. Dissolve yeast in cup warm water and let stand 5 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, combine yeast mixture, 1 cups warm milk, cup potato flakes, cup butter, cup sugar, and teaspoon salt. Mix well.
3. Stir in 2 slightly beaten egg yolks and cup flour.
4. Cover with a towel, plastic wrap, or aluminum foil, and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts for 30 minutes. (Batter will look spongy.)
5. Gradually stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough.
6. Cover and let rise in a warm place 1 hour, or until dough is doubled in bulk. Punch dough down.
7. Turn onto a lightly-floured surface, and roll out to -inch to 3/8-inch thickness.
8. Cut into 2 -inch circles. Brush with melted butter.
9. Make a crease across each circle, and fold over to make the rolls into Parkerhouse-style.
10. Gently press edges to seal. Place on greased cookie sheets, and let rise in a warm place 20 minutes, or until dough is doubled in bulk.
11. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
12. This makes 4 dozen Parkerhouse rolls.
