How to Make Prize Winning Roll Dough Cinnamon Rolls

In a large bowl, combine the yeast, warm water, and sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Add the eggs and mashed potatoes to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
Gradually add 4 cups of flour, mixing until just combined.
Stir in the salt and oil.
Gradually add the remaining flour, 1 cup at a time, until the dough is too thick to stir easily.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. The dough will be soft and slightly sticky.
Place the dough in a large greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough to release the air.
Let the dough rise again for another 30 minutes.
Divide the dough in half. For dinner rolls, follow steps 11 and 12. For cinnamon rolls, follow steps 13-18.
Dinner Rolls: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Let rise for 30 minutes.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Cinnamon Rolls: Roll out one half of the dough to a 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.
Spread evenly with melted butter, then sprinkle with cinnamon, brown sugar, and nuts.
Tightly roll up the dough, jelly-roll style.
Slice the roll into 1 1/2-inch thick slices and place them in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
Let the cinnamon rolls rise for 45-60 minutes, or until almost doubled in size.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before frosting.
