    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1         tablespoon  dry yeast
    9        tablespoons  granulated sugar -- (1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp)
    1 1/2           cups  lukewarm water -- (110F, from cooking potatoes)
       3/4           cup  butter -- softened -- (1 1/2 sticks)
    1 1/2      teaspoons  salt
    2                     eggs
    1                cup  mashed potatoes -- (note)
    6               cups  Unbleached All-Purpose Flour -- approx

Note: 5 small potatoes, 2 medium or 1 large

Boil unskinned potatoes until easily pierced with the tip of a knife. 
Remove potatoes from water (reserving water), and let sit till 
they're cool enough to handle. Peel potatoes and mash them. Set aside.

Dissolve yeast and 1 tablespoon of sugar in lukewarm potato water. 
Beat in butter, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, salt, eggs and potato. Stir 
in enough flour to make a dough suitable for kneading.

Turn dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth 
and elastic, about 10 minutes. Or, knead in a mixer equipped with a 
dough hook for 5 minutes, or in a food processor for 90 seconds to 2 minutes.

Place kneaded dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat all sides. Set 
bowl in the refrigerator overnight; for maximum flavor, we like to 
refrigerate it for about 16 hours.

Remove dough from refrigerator and shape to fit 3 medium-sized (8 1/2 
x 4 1/2-inch) loaf pans, or 1 medium-sized and 1 large (10 x 5") loaf 
pan, or 8 mini (6 x 3 1/2") loaf pans. Let rise until doubled in 
bulk, about 4 hours (remember, dough is cold from refrigerator, and 
will take longer to rise).

Bakes loaves in a preheated 375F oven for 45 minutes, or until bread 
tests done. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.

Makes 23 - 25 rolls
