• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, melted butter, sugar, and yeast.
2. Allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast activates and becomes foamy.
3. Add mashed potatoes to the yeast mixture and mix thoroughly.
4. Gradually add flour and salt to the mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
5. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

7. Punch down the dough and divide it into equal-sized portions.
8. Shape each portion into a ball and place them in a greased baking pan, leaving some space between each roll.
9. Cover the rolls and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
