Miracle Potato Rolls

2/3  cup margarine

2/3  cup sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup mashed potatoes, unsea­soned

2 cups hot potato water, drained from cooked potatoes

1 package dry yeast

2 eggs, beaten

7 cups all-purpose flour

Mix together the margarine, sugar, salt, mashed potatoes and hot potato water. Blend well and cool mixture to lukewarm (about 105 degrees). Add yeast, eggs and enough flour to form a soft dough. Place mixture in a well-greased large bowl; cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour.

You can now make rolls. Roll out dough on a floured surface and shape into your favorite vari­ety of rolls. (Punch down dough, every 8 to 10 hours if there is  dough left over in the refrigerator. You can use this dough as need­ed.) This dough works especially well when shaped into crescents.

Place rolls on a greased baking sheet, and no additional rising is necessary. Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven for 10 minutes or until light golden brown.

Yield: 4 dozen dinner rolls.
