1 pkg. active dry yeast
2/3 c. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. warm mashed potatoes
2/3 c. shortening
2 eggs
1 1/2 c. warm water
7-7 1/2 c. flour

Dissolve yeast in warm water, mix with sugar, shortening, eggs, salt, and mashed potatoes, then add 4 cups of flour. Beat until smooth, then add remaining flour enough to make dough easy to handle. Turn onto a floured board and knead until smooth and elastic.

Put into a greased bowl, turning greased side up. Refrigerate at least 8 hours. Can be kept in refrigerator for 5 days or until needed. Form into desired shapes. Bake at 400 degrees for 15-25 minutes.
