  Categories: Breads
       Yield: 6 servings
  
       2 c  Hot mashed potatoes                 4 tb Melted shortening
       1 tb Salt                                1    Cake compressed yeast
       2 c  Milk                                6 c  Flour
       2 tb Sugar                               2    Eggs, well beaten
  
   Add sugar, salt, and shortening to freshly prepared hot mashed potatoes.
   Cool, and add eggs.  Soften yeast in milk and add the potato mixture. Add
   flour, a little at a time, beating well after each addition. Turn onto
   lightly floured board.  Knead until smooth and elastic. (The dough should
   be as soft as it is possible to handle.) Cover with a damp cloth, set in a
   warm place and allow to double in bulk. Turn onto lightly floured board.
   Roll in round sheet 1/2 inch thick.  Cut into sections as you would cut a
   pie, having each section about 3 inches wide at the outer edge. Begin at
   the outside and roll each section toward the center. Form into crescents.
   Place on well-oiled baking sheet. Cover with a warm, damp cloth. Let rise
   until treble in bulk. Bake in hot oven (450ø F) about 12 minutes. 32 rolls.
