As we approach the summer, we’re also approaching grilling season, which makes everyone excited, especially because it brings the people you love together outdoors. Every grilled meat, fish, seafood, or veggie needs a bread to accompany the party. One of my favorite things to grill is hotdogs. I love hotdogs in all shapes and forms, from basic quality to superb high-end ones. To celebrate them respectfully, I figured I need to prepare some buns for them. The best option I can think of for hot dog buns (other than pita—you know I’m the biggest fan of pita) is potato rolls. The potatoes help the dough retain moisture and softness, extending their shelf life while giving a beautiful mild potato flavor to the sandwich. These buns can be made for any sandwich you can think of, but if you ask me, the best pairing is hotdogs or lobster rolls. Happy grilling season!

Step 2

In a stand mixer's bowl, add water, yeast, sugar, eggs, flour, mashed potatoes and salt. Set your mixer on lowest speed. Once a dough starts to form, add the softened butter, one teaspoon at a time. After incorporating the butter into the dough, keep kneading for additional 10 min until it elastic and smooth.
