Process
- Add ¼ c milk, sugar and yeast to a measuring cup, stir well and allow to bloom.
- While the yeast blooms, add the butter, eggs, mashed potatoes and salt to the base of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, mix to combine. Or add to a large mixing bowl & use a hand mixer**.
- Once yeast has bloomed, add that along with the remaining ½ cup of milk to the egg mixture along with 2 cups of the flour and mix to combine well. Then fit the stand mixer with the dough hook and add the remaining 1 cup of flour about ⅓ at a time while the mixer runs, until the dough ball comes together. Depending on the size of your eggs, you may need an additional 1-2 tablespoons of flour to bring the dough together.
- You should have a nice soft & pliable dough.
- Separate into 18 (for larger rolls ) or 24 (for smaller rolls) dough balls & bake as dinner rolls
- Prepare a large baking dish by spraying with avocado oil.
- Place dough balls about ¾“ apart, cover with plastic & allow to rise in a warm spot in your kitchen for approximately 20 mins.
- Brush with egg wash, if desired, then bake in a preheated 375° oven for 20-25 minutes or until browned.
- While warm, spread tops with butter if desired.
- Roll out to make approx 18 cinnamon rolls
- Prepare a large baking dish by spraying with avocado oil.
- Roll half the dough out at a time, into an approximate 12” x 10” rectangle.
- Spread with softened butter (about 2 tbsp), brown sugar (about ¼ cup) & a sprinkle of cinnamon.
- Roll up & cut into about 1¼“ rounds (or thicker if desired) then place in the prepared baking dish.
- Repeat with the other half of the dough.
- Cover with plastic and allow to rise in a warm spot in your kitchen for approximately 20 mins.
- Bake in a preheated 375° oven for 20-25 minutes or until browned.
- Once slightly cooled, drizzle/spread with glaze made with 1 cup powdered sugar + 1-2 tsp water or milk.

Notes
*Red potatoes provide more “bounce/elasticity” to use as the mashed potatoes in this recipe. Day old is key, as it gives the starch some time to settle. I make a standard mashed potato: peeling the potatoes and boiling til done. Then use milk + butter and some salt to mash the potatoes. I like to use a potato ricer for optimal creaminess. // **Alternatively, use a hand mixer beginning by adding 1-2 cups of flour then kneading the remaining 1 cup of flour into flour by hand on your countertop so you don’t burn out the motor on your hand mixer if it’s not a heavy duty model. // If you're using the "nightshade free" option and using mashed sweet potatoes to make these rolls, you may need to adjust the amount of flour used by up to 3-4 tablespoons for optimal dough texture.

Can these be made ahead of time or frozen at some point in the recipe ?
I’ve definitely made the cinnamon rolls a day ahead and put them in the refrigerator, then let them come to room temperature and rise before baking the day I need them. I’m certain the dinner rolls would do the same. I’ve not ever tried freezing the dough in balls though, so that’s something I need to give a try. Hope that helps, enjoy! ~Michelle
