Potato-Bread Dinner Rolls

Potato bread makes stellar dinner rolls. Rather than simmer potatoes then drain and rice them, we use instant potato flakes, adding them to the flour mixture as a dry ingredient. They are the secret to the soft, feathery crumb in this pull-apart bread. The recipe can easily be doubled if your gathering is large or you want lots of leftovers. If make-ahead works better with your schedule, after shaping the dough into rolls, cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Before baking, let stand at room temperature for an hour, then finish and bake as directed in the recipe.
