So when I came across this recipe for cheesy potato rolls, I knew I had to try it. The result was delicious! These rolls are loaded with cheese and potato goodness, and they're perfect for a hearty winter meal. Give them a try!
Ingredients
Let's gather the ingredients!
- 1 medium Yukon gold potato cooked, mashed
- ½ cup water lukewarm
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
- ½ cup cheddar cheese grated
- 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened, plus more for brushing
Instructions
Let's Begin!
- In a small bowl, mix together the lukewarm water, yeast, and 1 tbsp sugar. Set aside to bloom until frothy.
- In a large bowl, Beat the eggs, sugar, mashed potato, salt, cheese, and half of the flour. Mix until well combined. Then set aside in a warm place until the dough doubles in volume.
- Turn the dough on a floured surface, add butter and remaining half of the flour. Knead the dough until it is smooth and bouncy. Shape the dough into a ball.
- Brush a large bowl with butter and turn dough around in bowl to coat lightly. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Generously butter two 9-inch round or square cake pans. Turn the dough out of the bowl and pat into a rectangle about 16- by 8-inches, gently pressing out excess air. Divide the dough into 32 equal portions, about an ounce each, with a pizza wheel or bench scraper.
- Divide the dough in half lengthwise, then in half crosswise. Cut each of those four sections into 8 equal-sized rolls.
- Tuck the edges of the dough under to make round rolls and place them seam-side down in the prepared pan, leaving a little space in between each roll.
- Cover the pan with buttered plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until the rolls rise almost to the rim of the pan and have more than doubled in size.
Let's Bake!
- Bake rolls for 40 minutes until golden brown and puffy.
- Remove rolls from the oven and quickly brush the tops with melted butter.
- Serve warm or at room temperature in one piece or pulled apart as individual rolls.
- Enjoy with family and friends!
