ingredients

1
In a saucepan, bring potatoes and water to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain, reserving 1 c. cooking liquid; cool liquid to 110°-115°. Mash potatoes; set aside 1 cup. to cool to 110°-115° (save remaining potatoes for another use).
2
In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in reserved potato liquid; let stand for 5 minutes. Add reserved mashed potatoes, butter, honey, oil, eggs, salt and 1 1/2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning in a warm place until doubled. About 1 hour.

Punch dough down and turn onto a floured surface; divide into 30 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Place 10 balls each in three greased 9-in. round baking pans. cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
