For the dough

Place egg and sugar in a Kitchenaid stand mixer with the paddle attachment and whip for 20 seconds. Add potato, milk, softened butter and salt and mix well.
Add 2 cups flour and yeast. Beat for 1 min until smooth then switch the stand mixer to dough hook. Gradually add four, 1/2 cup at a time until it cleans sides of the mixing bowl and has lost much of the stickiness.
Knead with dough hook 3 minutes, add flour only if it begins to stick to sides. Then take out and place a towel over the bowl (this is the first rise). Allow to proof for about an hour or so. “Punch” down the dough and then portion into equal size portions (2 oz).
Shape the dough into balls or whatever other shape you desire. Butter or spray your baking dish and place the shaped dough into the dish.
Brush tops with melted butter and cover with wax paper and leave at room temp until doubled, about 30 minutes.

To finish

Preheat oven to 400 degrees
I like to add a touch more butter and salt on top of my rolls. Place the rolls in the oven and Bake until golden, approximately 15 minutes. Remove and immediately brush with more melted butter. Serve and enjoy!
