📝 Preparation Steps
1
To a medium saucepan, add the potatoes and enough water to reach 1 inch above the potatoes. Place the pan over medium-high heat until boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, 8 to ⏱️ 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
2
Drain the potatoes, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water. Mash the potatoes until smooth or pass them through a ricer. Allow the water to cool to 130°F.
3
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, combine 4 cups of flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Add the reserved water to the flour and stir to combine. Add 1 packed cup of mashed potato (reserve the rest for another use), 2 eggs, and 6 tablespoons of butter to the flour. Mix on medium-low speed until combined, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl, ⏱️ 2 minutes. Mix on medium-low speed until the dough is smooth and tacky, 6 to ⏱️ 8 minutes. Add the remaining ¼ cup flour, 1 tablespoon at a time if the dough is too sticky.

10
Beat the remaining egg with 1 teaspoon of water. Brush the egg wash onto the rolls.

Bake the rolls until golden brown, 25 to ⏱️ 30 minutes. Meanwhile, microwave the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until melted. Brush the tops of the rolls. Serve the rolls hot or at room temperature.
