From an old family recipe, these mashed potato cinnamon rolls taste best the same day they are baked. We like to make a batch on school-cancelled snow days to eat and share with our neighbors.

Time 2h40m

Yield 40

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups warm milk
1 cup mashed potatoes
⅔ cup shortening
⅔ cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 ½ teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons active dry yeast
7 ½ cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
½ cup brown sugar, or as needed
2 tablespoons milk, or as needed
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, or to taste
½ cup raisins, or to taste
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup butter, melted
½ cup milk
3 cups confectioners' sugar, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Mix warm milk, mashed potatoes, shortening, white sugar, eggs, and salt together using an electric mixer in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle yeast over mixture and stir gently until yeast is dissolved and well mixed.
  • Add flour 2 cups at a time to milk mixture using an electric mixer until dough becomes thick. Set aside mixer and add flour gradually, kneading dough on a work surface by hand until it is smooth and no longer wet and sticky. Place dough back into the mixing bowl and cover with a wet cloth. Set in a warm place until dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Roll 1/2 of the dough out onto a floured surface into a rectangle shape, about 1/2-inch thick. Repeat with remaining dough. Mix brown sugar and enough milk to make a paste together in a small bowl. Smooth paste evenly across both dough rectangles and sprinkle generously with cinnamon. Sprinkle with raisins.
  • Roll dough rectangles up and slice into 1 1/2-inch sections. Place rolls into 7 greased pie pans, gently pressing down using your fingers to squish into pans. Set rolls in a warm place until puffy, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake rolls in the preheated oven until light brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring brown sugar and butter to a boil over low heat in a saucepan, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Stir in milk and return to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool to lukewarm temperature, about 5 minutes. Gradually add powdered sugar until thickened. Beat using an electric mixer until it reaches a spreading consistency, adding warm water or additional milk if frosting gets stiff.
  • Remove rolls from the oven and let cool, 10 to 15 minutes. Frost and serve.

Leftover Mashed Potato Cinnamon Rolls image

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cups leftover mashed potatoes (any flavor), hot, cold or luke warm all work!
1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons hot milk
1 Tablespoons yeast
1/4 cup warm water
2 Tablespoons + 1/2 cup sugar + 2 cups sugar, divided
2 large eggs
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup salted butter, melted
4 1/4 cups flour
2 1/2 cups of melted butter (or more), divided. I use salted
LOTS of cinnamon. You want to be generous.
--------------------------
1 (8 ounce) package of cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar
1 Tablespoon heavy whipping cream (or milk)

Steps:

  • In a mixer with a dough hook, blend mashed potatoes and milk. Let cool to a warm but not hot temperature. Add yeast, water and 2 Tablespoons of sugar. Mix well and cover with a dish towel. Let mixture sit for 5 - 10 minutes, allowing yeast to poof and activate. Add eggs, 1/2 cup sugar, salt, and melted butter. Blend well. Add flour 1/2 cup at a time until all flour has been mixed in or until dough no longer sticks to the sides of bowl. Coat a large bowl with cooking spray. Add dough and then spray top of dough with cooking spray. Cover with a dish towel and let sit for 1 hour in a draft free spot or until mixture is doubled in size. After mixture has doubled, take all your anger out on it and punch it a few times. Preheat oven to 350*F. Prepare a jelly roll cookie sheet pan by spraying generously with cooking spray or use non-stick foil or a liner. Grab half the dough and roll out into a rectangle. Dough should be a quarter inch thick. The thicker the dough, the thicker the cinnamon rolls. Pour 1 1/4 cup melted butter gently over dough. Spread around to cover entire dough. Sprinkle with 1 cup of sugar and a generous amount of cinnamon. Using your hands or a spatula, spread cinnamon and sugar around until butter is absorbed into it. Starting with the long side, roll up gently like a cinnamon log. Using a knife or dental floss, cut cinnamon rolls into 3/4 inch thick slices. Place on prepared jelly roll pan. Once pan is filled, bake for 15 - 18 minutes or until golden. Cinnamon rolls with double or triple in size. Repeat the same process for the other half of the dough. -------------------------- In a separate bowl combine cream cheese and butter. Mix well. Add vanilla and powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time mixing well after each addition until all sugar is incorporated. Add whipping cream and blend. Spread on cooled cinnamon rolls and devour!
