2 cakes yeast or 2 pkg. dry yeast dissolved in 1/2 c. warm water
1 c. milk, scalded
1 c. mashed potatoes (I use instant)
6 or 7 c. flour
2/3 c. butter
2 eggs
2 tsp. salt

Mix all together and knead until smooth and elastic. Can be refrigerated overnight, but not necessary.

Divide into 6 rolls and roll out, fill with nut, apricot, raisin or poppy seed filling. Roll jelly roll fashion and place on baking sheet and let rise until double in bulk. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes. Brush top with butter while hot.
