Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing the baking sheet
2 medium potatoes, pierced with a fork
1 cup milk
1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast
2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons fine salt
1 large egg, beaten
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting

1
Special equipment: an instant-read or candy thermometer
2
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
3
Microwave the potatoes until tender, about 10 minutes depending on your microwave.
4
Slice in half, spoon out the innards of the potatoes and mash slightly.
5
Measure out 1 cup of the potatoes and reserve.
6
Warm the milk in a small saucepan to 90 degrees F. Activate the yeast by sprinkling it over the warm milk.
7
Let stand for 5 minutes.
8
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the coconut oil, sugar, salt, egg and reserved 1 cup mashed potatoes and beat until smooth, about 1 minute.
9
Add the yeast mixture to the potato mixture.
10
Add the flour in 2 parts and mix until the dough starts to pull from the sides and looks elastic, 2 to 4 minutes.
11
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently until smooth and supple, about 1 minute.
12
Divide the dough into 16 portions (about 2 ounces each) and roll each portion into a ball on your work surface to create a roll.
13
Place on the prepared baking sheet.
14
Allow the rolls to rest until doubled in size, about 15 minutes.
15
Brush generously with melted butter and sprinkle with the sea salt.
16
Bake until the tops are golden brown, 13 to 15 minutes.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
