Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. In a saucepan, heat milk, shortening and water to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat until moistened. Add mashed potatoes and eggs; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a stiff dough.
Do not knead. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and punch down. Divide in half. Shape each portion into 12 balls. Roll each ball into an 8-in. rope; tie into a knot. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets; tuck ends under. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 2 hours.
Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks. Yield: 2 dozen.
