Bloom the yeast in warm water and sugar.

Whisk together all-purpose flour, potato flour, and salt.

Add softened margarine to the bloomed yeast.

Incorporate 2 eggs into the mixture using a dough hook.

Slowly add the flour mixture in about four installments to the yeast mixture.

Knead the dough until smooth, then form it into a ball.

Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place.

After rising, punch down the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface.

Roll out the dough with a floured rolling pin.

Slather the rolled dough with margarine.

Combine brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle it heavily on the dough.

Roll the dough tightly, keeping it even and straight.

Cut off the ends for uniformity.

Use a bench scraper to cut the dough into equal-width cinnamon rolls.

Transfer the rolls to a baking sheet on their side and reshape them.

Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and let the rolls rise again.

Bake the rolls in the oven until done.

Make frosting with diet cream cheese, vanilla extract, cornstarch slurry, and powdered sugar in two increments.
