Instructions: Soften shortening in the hot water and let cool till lukewarm.

Sprinkle yeast over water to which about a teaspoon of sugar has been added. Let stand till it foams up good.

Combine the flour, sugar, powdered milk, potatoes, salt and baking powder in a large mixing bowl.

Add shortening and water to flour mixture until smooth, then add slightly beaten eggs; again blend until smooth. (This can all be done in electric mixer). Add yeast mixture which has started to foam good. Again beat until smooth. Add small amounts of flour until you have a soft dough (this can be done with the mixer but dont overwork mixer until youve burned your motor out). After it gets too stiff for the mixer continue adding flour and mixing with spoon until it is thick enough to turn out on floured board.

Knead until smooth and elastic (at least 8 to 10 minutes). Add flour a little bit at a time so dough wont get too stiff. Use just enough flour to keep it from sticking to the board. Put in a greased bowl, greasing the top of dough, and let rise until double in size (usually 1 to 1 1/2 hours).

Make into rolls and let rise again until double in size (usually 45 minutes to 1 hour.) Bake 375 12 to 15 minutes.
