You can also add 1 cup of mashed potatoes to your cinnamon roll recipe for extra softness.

I grew up with my grandmother making huge batches of potato fry cakes. She used to boil her potatoes and use a ricer to add them to the batter. Loved those days in the kitchen with her.

I can’t wait to try this recipe! I’m with you on loving mashed potatoes; perhaps it’s the Irish side of my heritage. 😉❤️
