      1 pk Active dry yeast
    1/2 c  Water, warm (105-115°F)
      1 c  Milk, scalded
      1 c  Potatoes, mashed
    2/3 c  Vegetable shortening
      2 ts Salt

  2. Place potatoes, sugar, shortening and salt in large bowl; stir in
  scalded milk.  

  3. Let cool to lukewarm; add eggs and yeast; mixing well.  

  4. Sift about 6 cups flour into mixture; stir until dough is stiff enough
  to knead.  

  5. Turn out onto lightly floured surface; knead, gradually adding flour
  until dough doesn't stick to hands and is smooth and elastic.  

  6. Shape dough into ball; place in greased bowl; turning dough to bring
  greased surface to top.  

  7. Cover with towel; let stand in warm, draft-free place until doubled.  

  8. Shape dough into rolls; place in greased muffin cups and let rise until
  double.  

  9. Bake in preheated 400°F oven 15 to 20 minutes; cool on racks.

  NOTE: For interesting variations, use mashed sweet potatoes or squash
  instead of regular potatoes.
