Homemade bread does a lot to brighten up any meal. Here's one that doesn't involve two days of you doing the culinary version of The Hokey Pokey:Icebox Potato Rolls
Scald 1 cup milk and cool to lukewarm. Dissolve 2 cakes of yeast in 1/4 cup water, and then add to the milk. Add 1 cup boiled mashed potatoes, 3/4 cup shortening, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 eggs, and 1 tsp. salt. Mix well. Dough will be stiff. Spread a little oil on top of the dough. Cover and place in ice box overnight and let rise. Take out amount of dough needed and shape into rolls. Let rise for two hours. Bake in 400 degree F. oven about 15-20 minutes. Dough will hold in refrigerator four to five days.
