With the holidays soon upon us I was thinking about holiday dinners of the past. When I was a child there was one recipe that my mother made all the time and it was always so good.

You can go and buy your rolls for the holiday feast at your house, but here is a recipe that is one of the best roll recipes I have ever had. Thanks Mom!

Mix together: 1 ½ cup lukewarm water
2/3 cup sugar
½ teaspoon salt

Crumble into mixture: 1 cake compressed yeast
Stir until dissolved

Add: 2 eggs
2/3 cup soft shortening

Mix in first with spoon then by hand
1 cup lukewarm mashed potatoes
7- 7 ½ cups flour
knead until smooth

Place in refrigerator about two hours covered with a towel so it won’t form a crust.
Shape dough into rolls cover and let rise about 1-1 ½ hours. Bake according to the roll you made or until golden brown. Bake at 400 degrees 12-15 minutes.
