Amish Dinner Rolls – Soft Yeast rolls recipe for warm fluffy buns. Made with instant mashed potato flakes, best served with any dinner comfort food. Adapted from an old Amish cookbook.
Friends, I hope spring is bringing you lots of joy and goodness. With Easter just around the corner, I thought it would be fitting to share a new tasty dinner roll recipe. Just picture pulling these piping hot rolls coming out of the oven, made by you, with your hands. Wouldn’t that be awesome?!
I’m partnering with Red Star yeast today to bring you these fluffy soft dinner rolls. I love Red Star and it’s the only yeast I use now in my kitchen. Be sure to check out their Platinum instant yeast. It’s the one I chose to use in this recipe.
These rolls are also able to be prepared a day in advance. Just refrigerate the dough balls. Get the hardest part out of the way. No one has time for hours in the kitchen on the big day. Hopefully, you’ll be joining in a church service or spending time with family. So make these rolls the day before, cover with greased plastic and pop them in the fridge.
The day of all you need to do is let them sit at room temperature for about 3-4 hours (depending on the temperature in your kitchen). Then they’re ready to bake. Rolls done in about 20-25 minutes.
Red Star is offering Buy One Get One free for the Platinum yeast. Head over to RedStaryeast.com to find out more.

Amish Dinner Rolls
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup warm milk about 100-110 degrees
- 1/2 cup warm water about 100-110 degrees
- ¼ cup unsalted butter softened
- ¾ cup mashed potato flakes
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup sugar
- 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 packet Red Star platinum yeast
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl combine milk, water, butter, mashed potato flakes, egg, sugar, flour, salt, and yeast. Using a stand mixer fitted with dough hook, knead for 6-8 minutes or until smooth and soft without being too sticky. The dough should clear sides of the bowl but slightly stick to the bottom. Add additional flour one tablespoon at a time if too wet. Add additional milk 1 tablespoon at a time if too dry. Remove from bowl. Using the heel of your hand knead briefly until it forms a nice round ball.
- Alternately you can knead by hand on a floured surface until you have a smooth soft dough.
- Place dough in a greased bowl and let rise until doubled about 60-90 minutes.
- Separate dough into 16-20 equal pieces. Using the heel of your quickly and firmly roll each piece around in circles until it forms a tight little ball. Arrange rolls in a greased 9 x 13 pan. Cover with greased plastic wrap. Let rise for about 1 1/2 hours. They will have doubled in size and be puffy.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°. After the rise, place in oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Look for rolls that are golden brown.

These look a lot like the recipe my mom uses except hers uses flour instead of mashed potatoes. When my mom retired, she tried to find a good bread recipe.
This uses both flour and mashed potato flakes. Feel free to make it your own. Enjoy and thanks for dropping by!
I want to thank you for this recipe. My mother-in-law made these all the time. When she died, no one knew the recipe for her delicious rolls. The Amish Dinner Roll is the recipe. I wanted to ask if I can add a little more sugar to the recipe. Mom’s biscuits were a little sweeter. NOTE: I have been looking for this recipe since 2005.
Hello Melanie, is there a way to obtain a cookbook from you? I had the opportunity to visit Amish Acres about 6-7 months ago, and we (as a churchgroup) had lunch there. I loved everything I ate. I was a bit disappointed because there were no second helpings. But the food was very enjoyable, just like when my mama, and granny used to cook. when I was a kid. please let me know if there are cookbooks on or for sale. I’d truly appreciate it . God bless you, and enjoy your evening.

Can the dough be made in the bread machine?
Sure. It should work just fine.Enjoy!
WOW!! These look amazing! We are going to bake some next week. Thanks for the recipe. PINNED! 🙂
Thanks for pinning! Enjoy.
I bought a bag of SAF Instant yeast at my local Amish store. Would I use the same amount of the SAF instant yeast as the instant Platinum?
Yes! Enjoy the rolls. 🙂
Best rolls I ever made. Actually light and fluffy! I did need to add more water to the dough… And it ended up being really sticky. So I don’t know if that made them lighter or not, but I will be keeping this recipe. Btw, I never rate recipes.
What a great compliment! So glad you enjoyed the rolls. They are some of my family’s favorite to add to the bread basket at dinner. Have a great day!
