Herbed Potato Rolls Instructions
  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and dice the russet potato. Boil in salted water for 15 minutes. Drain and mash, reserving ¾ cup cooking water.
  2. Activate the Yeast: Mix ¼ cup warm reserved potato water with sugar. Sprinkle yeast and let stand for 5 minutes until frothy.
  3. Mix the Dough: Combine remaining potato water, mashed potatoes, egg, melted butter, honey, herbs, and salt. Add yeast mixture and mix on low until blended.
  4. Add the Flour: Gradually mix in flour until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
  5. Knead the Dough: Knead on floured surface for about 5 minutes until stretchy. Let rise in a greased bowl for about 1 hour until doubled.
  6. Shape the Rolls: Punch down dough, divide into 12 equal pieces, and shape each into a ball.
  7. Second Rise: Arrange dough balls in a greased skillet, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  8. Bake the Rolls: Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown, rotating halfway.
  9. Add a Flavorful Finish: Brush hot rolls with garlic scape butter or melted butter. Serve warm.
