Ingredients:

  • 1 medium potato, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup warm water (110°F/45°C)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave nectar
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup vegan butter, melted
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for kneading
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Additional melted vegan butter, for brushing

Instructions:

  1. In a small saucepan, cover the diced potato with water and bring to a boil. Cook until the potato is fork-tender, then drain and mash it into a smooth puree. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and maple syrup or agave nectar. Sprinkle the yeast over the water mixture and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until frothy.
  3. Add the mashed potato and melted vegan butter to the yeast mixture, stirring until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the flour and salt to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add more flour as needed to prevent sticking.
  6. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  7. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball and place them in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, leaving a little space between each roll.
  8. Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise for an additional 30-45 minutes, or until puffy and almost doubled in size.
  9. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  10. Brush the risen rolls with melted vegan butter.
  11. Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown on top and cooked through.
  12. Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
  13. Serve warm and enjoy the fluffy, potato-infused goodness of these Vegan Fluffy Potato Dinner Rolls!
