   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                         FOR THE DOUGH:
   1             medium  Russet Potato
   1 1/2      teaspoons  kosher salt
                         Cold water -- to cover
      1/4           cup  fruity oil -- such as avocado or olive oil, 
(2 oz barely scant)
   1 1/2    Tablespoons  granulated sugar
   2          teaspoons  prepared garlic paste
   1           teaspoon  kosher salt
   10            grinds  black pepper -- (to 20) depending on how 
much pepper you like
   8                 oz  whole milk -- or you may use 2%
   1              large  egg
   3                 oz  finely grated Parmesan cheese -- (about 1 
1/2C) divided
   1              pound  bread flour -- (about 3 3/4C)
   1         Tablespoon  active dry yeast
   1              stick  salted butter -- or use unsalted butter and 
1/4 teaspoon salt
   2          teaspoons  prepared garlic paste
                         Finely grated fresh Parmesan

These soft and flavorful rolls will make you hungry the moment you 
smell them in the oven. The combination of fresh Parmesan cheese and 
garlic is a winner to begin with, but add them to a supple, pillowy 
dough made with Idaho russet potatoes, and I guarantee you will end 
up with the best possible rolls to serve at your Thanksgiving dinner!

prep: 45 MINUTES
cook: 25 MINUTES
total: 1:10

Wash, peel, and cut the potato into 1" pieces.

Place in a saucepan in lightly salted water, and bring to a boil. 
Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes or until 
potato pieces are easily pierced with a knife. Drain, cover, and 
return to low heat for 5 minutes to dry a bit.

Measure out 6 oz of cooked potato and place in the bowl of your stand mixer.

Add the oil, sugar, garlic paste, salt, and pepper.

Fit your mixer with the paddle attachment and mix on medium low speed 
until the potato mixture is smooth.

Add the milk, egg, half the Parmesan cheese, flour and yeast, in that order.

Fit your mixer with the dough hook, and mix on low speed until the 
flour is evenly moistened and the dough is starting to come together, 
about 2 minutes..

Knead on medium speed for about 10 minutes, until the dough is 
smooth, shiny, stretchy and clears the sides of the mixer bowl. The 
dough is soft, so some will stick in the bottom of the bowl. That's just fine.

Scrape the dough into a rough ball in the mixer bowl, spray with a 
bit of oil or pan spray, and set aside in a warm place to rise until 
double. Since yeast loves potatoes so much, this will only take about 
an hour or so.

Scrape the risen dough out onto a lightly oiled surface and press out 
the gases.

Sprinkle the other half of the Parmesan over the dough and then knead 
it in. You do not have to be very thorough because we want some 
pockets and ribbons of cheese running through the dough. Just knead 
until the cheese is incorporated.

Divide the dough into 12 or 24 even pieces. If you have a scale, 
weigh the entire amount of dough and then divide that weight by the 
number of rolls you want. Now you have a weight for portioning. I 
scaled 12 large rolls at just over 3 oz each.

Stretch each portion of dough to find a smooth side and then tuck the 
rest of the dough under to form a smooth ball. Tighten up the ball by 
rolling it between your palms on your work surface.

In a 9" x 13" nonstick pan, evenly space the rolls in 3 rows of 4 for 
large rolls or 4 rows of 6 for small ones.

Preheat oven to 350F.

Melt the butter, garlic, and salt (if using) in the microwave. Spread 
the tops of the rolls liberally with half the mixture.

Cover the rolls with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until 
almost double, about 30 to 40 minutes.

Pour or brush the rest of the butter mixture evenly over the rolls 
and then place in the oven.

Bake for about 25 minutes for large rolls and 20 minutes for small 
rolls. Rotate the pan if browning unevenly. The rolls are done when 
the internal temperature reaches 195-200F. They will be deeply golden 
brown on top and golden brown on the sides. If the rolls seem to 
brown too quickly, tent loosely with foil.

As soon as you take the rolls out of the oven, grate on a bit more 
Parmesan cheese.

Allow the rolls to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then carefully 
ease them out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

Wrap loosely in foil and reheat to serve. They're great cold, too, 
but you will really love them warm. Enjoy!

NOTES: Use Parmesan Reggiano or an American hard cheese such as Grana 
for this. Parmesan in a can will not give you the same flavor, 
texture or aroma as fresh.

Note: You can make these rolls without doing the refrigeration 
process. When shaping the dough, make sure your hands are well-oiled 
so the dough doesn't stick to you.

The stated time of 70 minutes does not take into account rising time.

Question: Was going to make these for Thanksgiving last year but 
opted for my tried and true dinner roll. This year I'd like to make 
these ahead and freeze. Would you recommend?
Response: Yes, these freeze well. Just cool them completely, wrap in 
plastic wrap and then put in freezer bags (or wrap in foil). Let them 
come to room temp, still wrapped, and then warm to serve. Enjoy!
