These guides are so very helpful! I had two questions about the potato roll recipe. First, is that an additional 8-10 cups of flour added after the initial 4, or more flour to equal 8-10 cups. Second, how long does she recommend kneading the dough? Thank you so much!!

From Carole...

Yes, the additional 8-10 cups is correct. The cooked potatoes have a lot of moisture in them, and depending on the kind of potatoes used the mixture could be drier or wetter. I usually add half in the beginning and keep adding a cup at a time until you have a dough that is slightly sticky, but not shaggy. I use a mixer with a dough hook, use a low speed and knead for 3-5 minutes after the last flour is incorporated.
