Almond milk is dairy-free, while water is a cost-effective substitute.

Add leftover mashed potatoes to a stand mixer.

Combine half milk and half water, then add to the mixer.

Add melted butter to the mixer.

Add eggs to the mixture and blend until combined.

Add all-purpose flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt to the mixer.

Knead the dough on medium speed for 8-10 minutes until it firms up.

Grease a bowl with oil and place the dough inside.

Cover with cling wrap and a tea towel, then let proof for 1.5 hours.

After proofing, divide the dough into 12 equal portions, each under 4 ounces.

Shape each portion into a smooth roll without seams.

Place the rolls in a greased 9"x13" pan in four lines of three.

Cover and let proof for another 45 minutes to 1 hour until they rise and proof into each other.

Check if rolls are proofed by pressing a finger into one; if it holds the indentation, they are ready to bake.
