Melt-In-Your-Mouth Potato Muffins

Don't let the name fool you, these are not muffins, but more like rolls. And, my did not melt in our mouths, but that might have been my mistake as I'll explain later.

I made these for Big Chubb to take to Young Men's activity tonight. he said he would call them Scandinavian Donuts to fool the boys into eating them.

Ingredients

1 yeast tablet (1 tablespoon)
2 tablespoons warm water
1/2 cup mashed potatoes
1/2 cup hot water
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs beaten
1/2 cup butter
pinch of salt
3 cups flour

Directions

Combine yeast cake, warm water, potatoes, hot water and sugar. Let rise until light and bubbly or spongelike.

Add remaining ingredients and roll out and cut with small round cookie cutter.

Place on greased cookie sheet.

Let rise 30 min. and bake at 350 degrees for about 20 min.

Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

They turned out fine. They taste more like a sweet roll. We all liked them. Little Chubb ate two and proclaimed he needed a third, but I wouldn't let him have one.

My problem with the recipe was that it isn't very clear. I melted to butter so it would mix into the dough better. I also didn't know how thin to roll the dough or how close to place them on the cookie sheet. Then I didn't know whether to brush them with melted butter and then sprinkle powdered sugar right when they came out of the oven or after the had cooled.

I may try them again and change the way I actually made them. Oh, Twenty minutes was too long. They came out a little drier than I think they were supposed to be. Plus, next time I am going to douse them with melted butter and lay a nice thick layer of powdered sugar on them.
