CINNAMON POTATO ROLLS 
3/4 c. sugar
3/4 c. hot mashed potatoes
1 1/2 c. warm water
2 (1/4 oz.) pkg. active dry yeast
1/2 c. butter, softened
2 eggs
2 tsp. salt
6 1/2 c. all purpose flour

FILLING:

1 1/3 c. packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
3 tbsp. cream
2 tbsp. butter, softened
:
Confectioners sugar icing (optional)

In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar and mashed potatoes. Add water and yeast; mix well. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour. Meanwhile, combine filling ingredients and set aside. Stir dough down; mix in butter, eggs and salt. Gradually stir in flour. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes. Divide dough in half. On a floured surface, roll each portion into a 12 x 12 inch square. Divide filling and spread over each square to within 1 inch of the edges. Roll up jelly-roll style. Cut each roll into nine slices. Place in a greased 9 x 9 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden. Drizzle with confectioners sugar icing, if desired. Makes 18 rolls.
