Ingredients:

°2 cups all-purpose flour

°1/2 cup mashed potatoes

°1/4 cup hot milk

°2 tablespoons melted butter

°1 tablespoon of sugar

°1 teaspoon instant yeast

°salt 1/2 teaspoon

°6-8 slices cooked bacon, crumbled

°1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese

°1/4 cup chopped green onions

°1 beaten egg (for gilding)

PREPARATION:

In a large bowl, mix the hot milk, melted butter, sugar and yeast. Leave it for 5 minutes until the yeast activates and becomes frothy.

Add the mashed potatoes and salt to the yeast mixture and mix well.

Gradually add the flour, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring with a wooden spoon. Keep adding flour until the dough comes together and comes together.

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for one hour, or until doubled in size.

Preheat oven 375°F (190°C) and line  baking sheet with parchment paper.

Once the dough has risen, tap it to release any air bubbles. Roll it into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

Sprinkle the crumbled bacon, grated cheddar cheese and chopped green onion evenly over the dough.

Starting at one of the longer sides, roll the dough tightly into a log shape.

Using a sharp knife or a piece of dental floss, cut the logs into 1-inch-thick slices.

Place the slices on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each roll. Cover it with a tea towel and let it rise for another 20 to 30 minutes.

Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg wash.

Baking in preheated oven for 15-20 mn or until rolls are golden brown.

Take the rolls out of the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes.

Serve the bacon potato rolls hot and enjoy!
