Potato Yeast Buns

I made this recipe earlier this week using left over mashed potatoes from Thanksgiving. Being the bad blogger I am I didn’t take *any* photos of the process or product. The bread didn’t long enough for me to get any photos.

My biggest change was that I made loaves instead of buns/ rolls. I made the dough a little wetter then I could have (I believe I used about 5 cups of flour: my usual mixture of the King Arthur Bread and King Arthur Whole Wheat Flours).
