Discover Lavender >> Recipes >> Sides Grandma’s Lavender Potato Rolls
INGREDIENTS• 1 large russet potato, peeled and cubed INSTRUCTIONSPlace the potato in a medium saucepan and cover generously with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and cool. Mash and measure out 1/2 cup for the rolls; reserve any remainder for another use. Place the warm water in a large bowl and sprinkle with the yeast. Let stand for 5 minutes, or until foamy. Stir in the potatoes, milk, butter, salt and 1 egg. Then stir in the cheese, green onion, and thyme. Place the lavender and 1 teaspoon of the flour in a spice grinder. Pulse until finely ground. Add to the bowl. Stir in 2 cups of the flour. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 6 to 8 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Oil a large bowl, add the dough, and turn to coat the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Punch down and shape into a ball. Cover and let rise for 10 minutes. Grease 2 baking sheets. Pinch off small amounts of dough (about the size of a lime) and shape into rolls. Place on the baking sheets with at least 1/2 inch space between them. Let rise until almost doubled in size, about 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Glaze the rolls by brushing the surface with slightly beaten egg. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
