Aunt Tosh's Yeast Rolls

A Family Favorite since 1930 
Aunt Tosh's Yeast Rolls 



1pkg Yeast
1cup Mashed Potato's (just plain potato's mashed)
1/2cup Potato Water
2/3 Cup Sugar
1Teaspoon Sugar
2/3 Cup Shortening 
2 Eggs 
2tsp Salt 
1 Cup Milk
6 Cups Flour 

Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup lukewarm water, add 1 tsp sugar 

Cream: 2/3 cup Sugar, 2/3 Cup Shortening 

Add: 2 Eggs - Beat Well

Add: 2tsp Salt, mashed potato's - Beat Well

Combine Potato Water with Milk and add mixture with dissolved yeast

Blend in 6cups of sugar with mixture 

Place in greased container and let rise until doubled in size 
Form into rolls and let rise until doubled in size again (we like to place in muffin pans to let rise and bake)

Bake at 350 for 15-20mins 

This was written exactly as my grandmother did, she inherited the recipe in the 1950's .  

You would think this is like a potato roll but in reality it reminds you of a really good yeast roll and I was shocked to learn about the potato when I inherited it in 2008
