Ingredients

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1 cup warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)
1/4 cup shortening
1/2 cup warm mashed potatoes
1 large egg, room temperature
1/4 cup sugar
1-1/4 teaspoons salt
4 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

1

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add milk, shortening, potatoes, egg, sugar, salt and 2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2

Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3

Punch dough down and divide in half. Divide each half into 36 pieces; shape into balls. Place 3 balls each into greased muffin cups. Cover; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.

Bake at 400° until golden, 12-15 minutes. Remove to wire racks. Serve warm.
