1/2 pt. cream and sweet milk
1/2 pt. potato water
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. shortening or butter
1 egg
1 pkg. yeast
5 1/2 c. flour

To make potato water, cook 1 potato in water and run through sieve. I save my potato water when I fix mashed potatoes for dinner. I put 1/2 c.up mashed potatoes and enough potato water to make 1 cup. Put milk, potato mixture, salt and shortening in microwaveable dish, heat for 1 minute or until mixture is lukewarm. Soften yeast in 3 tablespoons warm water and 1 tablespoon sugar. Let set until yeast starts to work. Add beaten egg and yeast to cooled mixture. Add flour; 1 cup at a time, until mixture is stiff enough to handle. Put remaining flour on table and knead well. Let rise twice. Punch down and make into rolls. Place roll into greased 9 x 13 pan and let rise again. Bake at 350 degrees until when tapped lightly in center sounds hollow.
