Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 c hot, dry, mashed potatoes, unseasoned
1/2 c scalded milk
1 c sugar
1/2 c butter, room temperature
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 lb +/- flour for soft dough
1/4 tsp nutmeg
2 pkg yeast
1/2 c warm water
2 Tbsp orange rind
2 Tbsp lemon rind, grated
2 Tbsp orange juice, fresh

Steps:

1. Cream butter and sugar; add potatoes, mix well. Add lukewarm milk, then eggs, mix well.
2. Dissolve yeast in warm water and add to mixture.
3. Combine seasonings, and rind, mix in. Add enough flour to make a soft dough.
4. Knead on a well-floured table. Form into ball, place in a greased bowl. Cover with a cloth and let rise in a warm place until double in size.
