The BEST Homemade Potato Dinner Rolls
Looking for an easy way to spruce up any dinner? These Homemade Potato Dinner Rolls are fluffy and soft on the inside with a crisp top brushed with honey for a little sweeteness that just melts in your mouth. And they’re very easy to make, which is always a win my my book!
What to serve with potato dinner rolls?
These homemade dinner rolls can spruce up any lunch or dinner meal, but a few ideas to serve alongside the dinner rolls themselves are…
- Honey Butter Spread
- Jam or Fruit Spreads
- Olive Oil & Herb Dips
- Meat & Cheese Platter (specifically thinly sliced ham and provolone cheese is so good on these for sandwiches)
- Honey or Maple Syrup
- Arugula & Turkey (another sandwich idea)

Can dinner rolls be made ahead?
Absolutely! The dinner rolls can be fully prepared and cooked in advance. I recommend letting the dinner rolls completely cool, the storing them in a ziplock or air-tight container until ready to serve.
How to store leftovers?
The dinner rolls will last on the counter (with proper storage) up to 4 days, and in the freezer up to 1 month.

PREP TIME: COOK TIME: TOTAL:
INGREDIENTS
Servings: 18
- 1/2 cup Warm Water
- 4 tbsp. Granulated Cane Sugar
- 2 1/4 tsp. Instant Yeast
- 1 cup Mashed Potatoes (boil 3-4 Yukon gold potatoes, peel, then mash)
- 1/4 cup Whole Milk
- 6 tbsp. Olive Oil, or melted and cooled butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tsp. Salt
- 4 – 4 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 2 tbsp. Honey, for brushing
- + 1 Egg, for brushing
INSTRUCTIONS
- In the bow of a stand mixer, proof the yeast by mixing the warm water, 1 tablespoon sugar, and yeast together. Set aside for 10 minutes to activate.
- Add in the remaining sugar, mashed potatoes, milk, olive oil, eggs, and salt. Whisk until well-combined.
- Add in the flour. Using the dough hook attachment, knead on medium-low for 5-6 minutes. The dough should be smooth and pliable.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap, then set aside in a warm environment to rise until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.
- Grease a 9×13″ baking pan.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and cut into 18 equal pieces.
- Roll each dough piece into small balls, then place seam side down in the prepared baking pan. (It’s okay for them not to have any space in-between.)
- Cover and let the rolls rise for 20 more minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg and the honey. Brush the mixture on top of the rolls.
- Bake until golden brown on top, about 20-25 minutes.
- Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
