GOLDEN POTATO ROLLS

Golden Potato Rolls image

This recipe is an absolute hit when paired with a traditional thanksgiving dinner. They add so much to a meal. Or try changing the mashed potatoes to mashed yam and changing the sugar to honey for a healthy twist. Make sure you let the rolls rise well, though - otherwise they won't be quite the large rolls you want
