    1                tsp  toasted caraway seeds -- lightly crushed
    1                tsp  pretzel salt -- or sea salt
    1              large  egg
    2          teaspoons  heavy cream

Serve these pillowy rolls along with your holiday ham.  Double the 
recipe for a large crowd.

Place the potato in a small saucepan and add water to cover by 1". 
Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium and simmer until potato is 
tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup cooking liquid in 
a small microwave-safe bowl.

Meanwhile, melt 4 Tbsp. butter in another small saucepan. Add milk; 
stir until warm, about 1 minute, and set aside.

Transfer cooked potato to a large bowl. Mash with a fork, then stir 
in milk mixture, 1 tbsp. sugar, and 1/2 tsp. salt (mixture will be 
slightly lumpy).

Rewarm potato cooking liquid in microwave (or let cool) until an 
instant-read thermometer registers 105-110F. Stir in remaining 1 
Tbsp. sugar, 1 tsp. salt, and yeast; let stand until foamy, about 10 
minutes. Add yeast mixture to potato mixture and stir to combine. Add 
3 1/4 cups flour with a wooden spoon and stir until a sticky dough forms.

Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead, dusting surface, dough, 
and your hands often with remaining 1/2 cup flour to keep dough from 
sticking, until dough is smooth, elastic, and slightly sticky, 7-8 
minutes. Form into a ball and transfer to a buttered bowl. Turn to 
coat dough with butter and cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let dough 
rise, chilled, overnight.

Butter baking pan. Mix caraway seeds and pretzel salt in a small 
bowl; set aside. Punch down dough (do not knead). Cut dough in half, 
then roll each piece into a 12" long log. Cut each log into 12 equal 
pieces, then roll each piece into a ball (for 24 total). Arrange in 
pan, evenly spaced, in 6 rows of 4. Cover loosely with plastic wrap. 
Let rise in a warm, draft-free place until almost doubled in size, 
about 1 hour.

Arrange a rack in middle of oven and preheat to 375F. Whisk egg and 
cream in a small bowl; brush tops of rolls with some of egg wash. 
Sprinkle with caraway salt. Bake, rotating pan once, until rolls are 
cooked through and deep golden, 25-30 minutes. Transfer to wire rack 
and let cool in pan for 5 minutes, then run a sharp knife around 
edges to loosen from pan; do not separate rolls. Transfer to rack and 
let cool for 10 minutes.

DO AHEAD: Can be made 8 hours ahead. Rewarm, wrapped in foil, in a 
300F oven until heated through. Serve warm.

Makes 24 rolls
