Delicious warm bread rolls don’t just come from a fancy restaurant or bakery. In fact, I think they are even better when they are homemade because then you get to enjoy them fresh out of the oven! I love to make Lion House dinner rolls or my sister-in-law Deborah’s knotted orange sweet rolls for something a little fancier and special. But these potato rolls are amazing in their own right and perfect for using up leftover mashed potatoes. While homemade rolls, just like homemade bread, take a little time and effort, the results are SO WORTH IT! The golden brown outside with the warm fluffy inside will have you filling up before the main course gets here. P.S. I photographed these potato rolls with strawberry freezer jam, but they would taste AMAZING with whipped cinnamon honey butter or raspberry butter! And if you have tons of leftover mashed potatoes and don’t know how to use them up, be sure to try my homemade potato bread recipe as well!
How to Make Potato Rolls
How long do potato rolls last?
When properly stored inside of an airtight container or zipper topped bag, potato rolls can survive up to 7 days at room temperature. That being said, this potato roll recipe tastes so much better hot and fresh from the oven, and you may not have any leftover to keep stored as everyone will continue to grab another! Even stale rolls can be used to make pretty wonderful french toast!
Can potato rolls be frozen?
Making them in advance, you can freeze them in the dough form and baked form. To freeze them once baked, make sure that they are completely cooled and inside an airtight container. When you’re ready to eat, pull them out and let them sit on the counter for a few hours to come to room temperature. You may want to give them a quick minute in the microwave to give back that fresh from the oven feel. To freeze in dough form, after making your 24 rolls, place them on a baking sheet and inside of your freezer until they are frozen solid. Then transfer to a zipper topped bag. When ready to bake, pull them out and place inside the casserole dish as directed. Let sit on the counter for a few hours to thaw and rise, or overnight in the fridge — bake as directed.
