1 1/2 c. scalded milk
2/3 c. shortening
2/3 c. sugar
2 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 c. mashed potato
1 cake (1 tbsp.) yeast

To the scalded milk, add shortening, salt, and sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved and shortening is melted. Cool to lukewarm, then add mashed potatoes and yeast which has been dissolved in warm water. Add 2 1/2 cups flour to make fairly thick batter. Beat until smooth and elastic, cover and set in warm place until light and full of bubbles.

Beat again and add beaten eggs and the rest of the flour, 3 cups or perhaps a little more to make a soft dough. Knead lightly until well mixed. Place in greased bowl. Brush top with melted shortening, and store in refrigerator until time to make into rolls. It will take 3 hours for rolls to rise. When baked, brush top with butter.
