Dinner Rolls



2 cups warm potato water (save water from cooked potatoes)

2 cups warm water

2 cakes of yeast (equals 2 pks or 2 Tablespoons of dry yeast today)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup shortening

1 cup mashed potatoes

2-3 eggs

1 cup sugar

10 cups flour, divided in half



Dissolve yeast in warm water, stir in all including first half of

flour. Beat until smooth and then mix in slowly, remaining flour to

make dough easy to handle (not sticky). Turn onto a floured surface

and knead about 5 minutes, place in greased bowl, turn greased side up

and cover tightly. Refrigerate until ready to use.



To use: Punch dough down and divide into 4 pieces. Break and roll

into balls or 3 for clovers. Let rise 1 1/2 hours before baking (less

if it is really hot). Set in hot oven (I use between 375-400 degrees)

and bake 15 to 25 minutes.
