Potato Rolls

1 cup sugar
1 cup cold mashed potatoes
1/2 cup lard or shortening
3 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 to 2 packs yeast
1 cup warm water
4 1/2 - 5 cups flour

Mix together well: sugar, potatoes, lard, eggs, and salt.  Dissolve the yeast in 1 cup warm water; then add that to the above mixture.

Add 3 cups flour. Add the remaining 1 1/2 - 2 cups flour while kneading. Knead until the dough is not sticky, just moist.

Let rise until doubled.  Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Roll out dough to a 3/4 to 1-inch thickness. Cut with round cutter and place on a greased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Let rise until double.

Brush tops with milk gently. Bake until lightly golden brown, about 12 minutes.
