Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a large bowl, combine the tomato juice, lukewarm water, sugar, and salt. Stir until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the mixture and let it stand for 5 minutes, allowing the yeast to soften and form a creamy foam.

02

Step
5 mins

Mix in the eggs, melted shortening, and mashed potatoes. Gradually beat in the flour until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning once to coat the top. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for a minimum of 2 hours, or preferably overnight. This extended chilling time enhances the flavor and texture of the rolls.

03

Step
0 mins

Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

04

Step
2 hrs

On a lightly floured surface, divide the chilled dough into 4 equal pieces. Further divide each of these pieces into 12 smaller portions. Roll each small portion into a ball and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and allow them to rise in a warm place for approximately 2 hours, or until they have doubled in size.

05

Step
0 mins

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

06

Step
13 mins

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are beautifully golden brown. Remove from the oven and brush immediately with melted butter for an extra touch of richness and shine. Serve warm and enjoy!

For a richer flavor, try using browned butter instead of melted shortening.
If your kitchen is cold, place the dough in a slightly warmed oven (turned off!) to rise.
These rolls freeze exceptionally well. Allow them to cool completely before freezing in an airtight container.
