2/3 c. sugar
1/3 c. shortening (solid type)
1 tsp. salt
1 c. mashed potatoes (instant may be used)
1 c. scalded milk
2 eggs
2 pkgs. dry yeast
1/2 c. water
5 c. flour
3/4 lb. butter (melted)

Mix the first five ingredients together. Beat the eggs and add to the mixture. Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup water. Add to mixture. Add the flour. Mix well. Let rise until double in bulk. Work down real well. Roll out about 1/2 inch thick. Cut in 1 inch diamond shape pieces or any way you like. Dip pieces in melted butter. Put in 2 pans, deep Pyrex bowls or cooking pots may be used. Fill about half full. Put directly in oven without additional using. Bake at 300 degrees for 10 minutes, then turn oven to 400 degrees and bake for about 35 minutes. If wrapped in foil this is good for several days. Just heat in foil before serving.
