Maybe I'm mis-reading the instructions but I'm not sure at what point we add the potato mixture to the dough. Does it matter? Can't wait to try them!

You add the potato mixture when you are adding the other ingredients. I will be sure to put that in the recipe! Thanks for pointing it out!

Hey, I just made a batch of these rolls. Yumm! I brushed them with butter after I baked them. Sweet but not too sweet, very soft, not heavy and dense. Thanks for posting this recipe! I will be making it again for sure!

Totally made these for easter dinner yesterday, and they rocked! SO light and fluffy...of course that could be because I let them rise a second time for 1/2 hour (accidently!) Delish with garlic butter on top!
