fluffy potato rolls

These Fluffy Potato Rolls are not your average yeast bread rolls! Soft and flaky dinner rolls infused with mashed potatoes and Italian seasoning for a slightly softer, sweet flavor. Bake until golden, then generously brush with melted vegan butter and serve while warm!

recipe faqs

Can I use sweet potatoes?

​We wouldn’t recommend it. Sweet potatoes are generally much lower in starch compared to russet potatoes and also have significantly more moisture. Replacing the russet potatoes with sweet potatoes will make the dough too wet and dense.

Do I need to peel the potatoes? 

​Yes! For the best, smooth texture, always peel the potatoes before boiling and mashing.

Can I use leftover mashed potatoes or instant potatoes?

We don’t recommend using leftover mashed potatoes as they have extra fat and seasoning, but instant potatoes should work, just be sure to measure after they have been rehydrated.

Can I make these dinner rolls gluten-free?

These dinner rolls are made with all-purpose flour and active dry yeast and would be difficult to make without yeast. We wouldn’t recommend experimenting with a gluten-free version and instead recommend making a recipe developed specifically with gluten-free ingredients.

Are these rolls freezer-friendly?

These rolls can be frozen before or after baking. If freezing before baking, follow the recipe through forming individual dinner roll dough balls. Place the dough balls in a freezer-safe dish, cover tightly with plastic wrap followed by a layer of tin foil, and freeze for up to 3 months.

If freezing after baking, let the rolls cool completely, then transfer to a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw frozen rolls at room temperature until soft again.

quick baking tips

  • The temperature of the milk should be between 105 and 110F for proofing! ​If the water is warmer than this, the yeast could die. If the water is colder than this, the yeast may not activate correctly and will yield flat, dense rolls. If you suspect your milk was not at the correct temperature, it is best to discard it and start again.
  • Use a baking scale to form the rolls. ​This isn’t necessary, but if you want perfect, equal-sized bread rolls, weigh the dough after the first rise and divide the total grams by 12. Then divide the dough, weighing to ensure you have the correct weight for each before rolling and transferring to the greased baking dish.

Use a potato ricer when possible. A potato ricer will make your homemade mashed potatoes much smoother than hand mashing and the smoother the potatoes, the smoother the rolls!

make ahead and storage instructions

If you’d like to prepare these homemade dinner rolls in advance of a holiday dinner, follow the instructions in the recipe by placing the individual dough balls in the greased baking dish. Instead of doing a second rise in a warm place, cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours.

Then, when ready to bake, let the rolls warm to room temperature for about 2 hours before baking as usual.

Once baked, leftover rolls will be kept at room temperature for up to 3 days.
