 2 cups mashed potatoesor 2 cups prepared instant potatoes

 ½ cup softened butter
 1 cup brown sugar
  cup cinnamon

Mix together water, yeast & sugar and let rest until yeast is dissolved and foamy.

Then add the 4 cups of flour and mix until smooth texture, cover & let rise until double in size.

Mix together potatoes, sugar, salt, melted butter, & eggs.  Add to your yeast mixture.

Slowly mix in the 6 cups of flour & knead until smooth and elastic.  Cover and let it rise until double in size.

Divide into 4-6 portions and roll each portion into 1/4" - 1/2" thick, rectangular shaped.  Spread the whole area with butter on top, sprinkle with brown sugar & cinnamon mixture.  Then roll up your rectangle along the long side.  Using a long strand of dental floss, slide it under & criss cross to cut the rolls into 1" slices without squishing them.  Place them into a pan, cover & let them rise until double in size again.  Start pre-heating the oven now.

Bake at 350" for 15-35 minutes, depending on the size of the rolls, until they just start browning on top.  Test for done-ness by slow pulling a middle section to check if the dough is done throughout.  The centers will puff up if they are placed too close in the pan.

If doubling the recipe for bake sales or gifting.  You can bake in them in a disposable pan and these can be froze after cooled off.  Great idea to plan ahead for Christmas morning (or any).  Just slow warm in the oven & a powdered sugar / mix drizzle over the top.
