Bread Machine Yeast Rolls

I was looking for a potato roll recipe. I buy potato rolls at Publix and I like them because they are delish, SOFT, a little dense,  AND they are dairy-free. Score! Well, the recipe I found online called itself a potato roll but HAH, not so much. These are yeast rolls. If you’ve ever been to Texas Roadhouse, you may have had this kind of roll (likely dripping in butter with a side of butter!). They are light as air, soft and SOOOOOOOOO good. So here’s my adjusted and commented version of the recipe I started with.

Backing up – I am yeast and dough phobic. Seriously. But I have discovered that if I make the dough in the bread machine and then bake in the oven – MAGIC!!! These rolls are so easy to make. You’ll have everyone at the dinner table drooling!

NOTE: You can probably use other brands of potato flakes, but I used Idahoan Original because they are dairy free. Unlike most potato flakes, this brand is just potatoes and preservatives (hate the preservative part, but I imagine you’ll be hard pressed to find flaked potatoes without them…. hmm wonder if I can make my own!?)

Now for the recipe….

Quick & Easy Potsticker Dipping Sauce

I love ordering the steamed dumplings at our local Chinese takeout. I’d say it’s 50% because I love the dumplings and 50% because I love the dipping sauce. True story. So tonight when I made homemade pot stickers for dinner, I needed a quick sauce to go with it. I had too many things going on the stove, so I didn’t want to add another thing. I have no idea if this is authentic, but it was good!! If you want it spicy, go nuts with the sriracha . I just used a small squeeze so my kids would eat it!

Happy Sunday! I’m getting ready for another busy week. We have training at work and I am fighting off some sort of bug. I feel pretty crummy, but am about to get up and get moving to the store and then the kitchen! We have houseguests this weekend, so we’ll cook something yummy for dinner tonight (or maybe go out)!? but here’s my plan for the rest of the week.

Monday: Citrus Soy Chicken Drumsticks, vegetable fried rice (I’m making this recipe but without the chicken)
Tuesday: Sausage and Peppers, rice
Wednesday: Orange-Cranberry Pork Stew, roasted potatoes, green beans
Thursday: Pizzas, salad (big salad for me)
Friday: dinner out

Lunches: Chicken salad
