Servings: persons

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110u00b0 to 115u00b0)
1 cup warm whole milk (110u00b0 to 115u00b0)
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup mashed potatoes (without added butter or milk)
3 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon salt
4 to 4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 large egg
1/3 cup sugar
½ teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon whole milk

1
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add the milk, butter, sugar, potatoes, egg yolks and salt; beat until smooth. Add enough flour to make a very soft dough. Do not knead. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
2
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Roll out about 1/4 cup of dough into a rope about 8-9 in. long. Tie in a knot; tuck one end on top and the other end under bottom of knot. Repeat with remaining dough. Place in greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Make a deep depression in each roll.
3
In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, egg, sugar, lemon zest and vanilla. Spoon 1 tablespoon into each roll. Make an indentation in cream cheese filling; top each with 2 to 3 cherries from the pie filling (discard remaining cherry sauce or save for another use). Let rise until almost doubled, about 40 minutes.
4
Bake at 400u00b0 for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over kolaches. Store in the refrigerator.
