3/4 c. sugar 3/4 c. hot mashed potatoes 1-1/2 c. warm water 2 pkgs. 1/4 oz each active dry yeast 1/2 c. butter or margarine softened 2 eggs 2 t. salt 6-1/2 c. all purpose flour
Filling 1-1/3 c. packed brown sugar 1/2 t. ground cinnamon 3 T. cream 2 T. butter or margarine softened
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 hr. 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 6-8 minutes. Divide dough in half. On a floured surface, roll each portion into a 12"x12" square. Divide filling and spread over each square to within 1" of the edges. Roll up jelly-roll style. Cut each roll into nine slices. Place in a greased 9"x9" baking pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hr. Bake at 350 for 35-40 min. Drizzle with powdered sugar icing if desired. Yield: 18 rolls.
