Ingredients
  • 1 pound Potatoes, boiled and mashed
  • 2 cup Milk
  • 1 cup Butter
  • 1 cup Plus 2 tsps sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon Cardamon seed
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 package Dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup Warm water

  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 teaspoon Vanilla
Directions
  1. 1
    In a large saucepan, mix mashed potatoes and milk until smooth.
  2. 2
    Add 1/2 cup butter, 1 cup sugar, and salt to the potato mixture.
  3. 3
    Heat the mixture over low heat until lukewarm (about 110F), stirring frequently.
  4. 4
    In a large bowl, combine dry yeast, warm water, and the remaining 2 teaspoons of sugar.
  5. 5
    Let the yeast mixture stand for about 10 minutes until it becomes foamy.

  7. 7
    Beat the mixture until smooth and well combined.
  8. 8
    Gradually stir in the remaining 3 1/2 to 4 cups of flour, adding enough to form a soft dough.
  9. 9
    Turn the dough out onto a heavily floured board and knead for 15 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add more flour if the dough is too sticky.
  10. 10
    Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  11. 11
    Punch down the dough and knead briefly to remove air bubbles.

    Divide the dough into two equal portions.
  13. 13

  14. 14
    On a floured surface, roll each portion of dough into a 5x18 inch rectangle.
  15. 15

  16. 16
    Roll up each rectangle tightly from the long side.
  17. 17
    Cut each roll into 12 pieces, approximately 1 1/2 inches wide.
  18. 18
    Place the rolls in a greased 9x13 inch pan, brushing the tops with remaining melted butter.
  19. 19
    Cover and let rise for 35 to 40 minutes, or until puffy.
  20. 20
    Bake in a preheated 350F (177C) oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  21. 21
    While still warm, spread the prepared nut glaze over the rolls.
