Potato Roll

Potato rolls are soft, slightly sweet rolls made with mashed potatoes or potato flour. They have a tender crumb, a golden-brown crust, and a distinctive, subtly earthy flavor thanks to the addition of potato. These rolls are known for their pillowy texture and moistness, making them a popular choice for sandwiches, sliders, or as a side to complement any meal. The potato contributes to a longer shelf life and a wonderfully soft, springy bite. Expect a light and airy bread with a delicate chew that elevates any dish.

Common Uses

  • Enjoy as Sandwich Rolls: Potato rolls are an excellent choice for sandwiches, offering a soft and slightly sweet complement to fillings like deli meats, cheeses, and vegetables. Their tender texture prevents fillings from squeezing out.- Serve as a Side Dish: Potato rolls make a delightful addition to any meal, whether it's a simple weeknight dinner or a special occasion. Their mild flavor pairs well with a variety of main courses.- Use for Sliders: The smaller size of some potato rolls makes them perfect for sliders, offering a soft and flavorful bun for mini burgers, pulled pork, or other slider fillings. They add a touch of sweetness and unique texture.- Make Breadcrumbs: Stale potato rolls can be processed into delicious breadcrumbs. These breadcrumbs add a subtle potato flavor and enhanced moistness to coatings for fried foods or as a topping for casseroles and baked dishes.- Prepare Stuffing or Dressing: Cubed potato rolls can be used as a base for stuffing or dressing, providing a soft and slightly sweet element that complements savory herbs and spices. Their moistness helps create a cohesive and flavorful stuffing.

Storage Tips

Potato rolls are best stored in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag at room temperature. This will help to prevent them from drying out. They should stay fresh for 2-3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 2-3 months. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil before placing them in a freezer bag to prevent freezer burn. Thaw at room temperature or in the refrigerator before using.
