Potato Rolls Recipe

Skip the store-bought rolls and try your hand at homemade with these potato rolls—adding potato to the dough creates light texture. These rolls can be baked up to 1 month ahead; simply cool completely, wrap in heavy-duty aluminum foil, and freeze. Thaw completely, and reheat (still wrapped in foil) at 375º for 12 minutes or until warm.

Golden Buttermilk-Chive Mashed Potatoes Recipe

The key to perfect, fluffy spuds is not overworking them with an electric mixer; a ricer (or food mill, if you have one) or potato masher is the best tool for the job.
