Ice Box Potato Rolls

1 pkg. dry yeast
1/2 C. lukewarm water
1 C. milk
2/3 C. vegetable shortening
1/2 C. sugar
1 tea. salt
1 C. mashed potatoes
Flour
2 eggs, beaten

Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water. Scald milk and add vegetable shortening, sugar, salt and mashed potatoes. When cooled to lukewarm, add the dissolved yeast. Mix thoroughly and add just enough flour to make a thin batter. Cover and set in a warm place until double in bulk.

Add eggs and stir in enough flour to make a stiff dough (dough will leave sides of bowl when stirred). Turn out on a slightly floured board and knead thoroughly until smooth and pliable. Place in a prepared bowl. Cover with a cloth and place in the refrigerator.

When ready to make rolls, pin. off dough, shape, place on prepared cookie sheet and let rise until doubled in bulk (from 1 1/2 to 2 hr.).

Bake at 400 degrees F for 15 to 20 min. Dough may be placed in prepared muffin tins. Grease rolls on top and allow to rise. In baking, just as they begin to brown, brush with butter. Dough will keep about 1 week in refrigerator.

Makes approximately 60 rolls.
