- ½ cup butter (melted)
- ½ cup milk (lukewarm)
- ½ cup water (lukewarm)
- 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions
- In a stand mixer bowl with a paddle attachment, combine the mashed potatoes, eggs, melted butter, milk, and water. Mix on medium-low speed until blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the potato mixture until just moistened.

- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Divide the risen dough into 12 equal portions and shape into smooth balls. Arrange in the prepared pan.
- Cover and let rise again until doubled (about 45-60 minutes).
- Brush with egg wash before baking for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
