Mix together the potatoes, water, sugar and yeast. Set aside, covered for 20 minutes. Add to that mixture the eggs, salt and shortening. Blend in 6 cups of flour and knead well. Let double in bulk in a warm place with a towel overtop the bowl. Then make knobs - the dough will be sticky - and place on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes. Makes 3 dozen. Divine with smoked salmon, Smithfield ham or for egg salad sandwiches.

Thanks! The simple roll and the gleaming china work well together.
I love that plate. Your artwork is amazing. The colors are always so appealing. The recipe looks pretty darn good, too. ;o)
Well, thank you very much! I love blue and white china and think it is almost always the perfect background for delectable foods. And when I craft my little fantasy world I try to have the loveliest objets around!
They smell like coming home!
Love your artwork!
Thanks! I just love working with Nancy, and all her good food ideas!
