• Add bread ingredients to the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
• Set Cycle: Dough, Size: 2 lb.
• After about 5 minutes, check the consistency of the dough; if the dough is too dry add a tablespoon of water at a time, if too wet add a tablespoon of flour at a time, until the dough is smooth and slightly sticky when you press it.
• Prepare the herb mixture: melt the butter in a saucepan, add the garlic, green onions and parsley, and cook for 2 or 3 minutes; cool completely.
• Spray two 9x5 inch pans with cooking spray, preheat oven to 350°F.
• When the cycle is finished, take the dough out and knead to remove large air pockets.

OLD FASHIONED MASHED POTATO ROLLS

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, heat together milk, potato and shortening until the ingredients have melted. In a large bowl, stir together 3-1/2 cups of the flour, sugar, yeast and salt; stir in the milk mixture and egg. With a wooden spoon, gradually stir in enough of the remaining flour to make soft dough, mixing with hands if necessary.
• Turn out dough onto lightly floured surface; knead for 8 - 10 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Cover with a tea towel; let rest for 10 minutes.
• To make cloverleaf buns, pinch enough dough and shape into a small ball. Arrange 3 balls in one muffin cups that have been sprayed with Pam. Continue until you have shaped 18 muffin cups. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled in bulk, 30 - 60 minutes. (Note: I sometimes cut the dough in half and will do half in muffin cups and half in a 8" x 8" square pan).
• Brush with butter. Bake in centre of 400 oven for 10 - 12 minutes or until golden brown.
• Bread Machine Method: Use 4-1/2 cups flour. Into pan of machine, add in order potatoes, milk, egg, shortening, sugar, salt, flour and yeast. Choose dough setting. Remove from machine; shape and bake as directed.
• Butter Mashed Potato Rolls: To get that rich buttery taste, drizzle each bun with melted butter then cover with clean tea towel. These buns come out rich and decadent.
