Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large potato
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup + 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour plus more for rolling
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 4 Tbsp butter
  • 2½ tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil
  • 2 cups shredded coconut
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 3 Tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup lightly toasted coconut
  • 1 pinch salt
  • a drop of vanilla and/or coconut extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the potatoes by peeling and cubing them, then boiling until tender. Reserve about ¼ cup of cooking water.
  2. Activate the yeast by mixing the reserved water (cooled to about 110°F) with one tablespoon of sugar and yeast; let sit until bubbly.
  3. In a bowl, combine warm mashed potatoes, milk, butter, salt, and remaining sugar.
  4. Add activated yeast mixture, beaten egg, and vanilla into potato mixture; mix well.
  5. Gradually add flour until a slightly sticky dough forms; knead until smooth.
  6. Let the dough rise in a buttered bowl until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
  7. Roll out the dough into an 18-inch square; brush with melted coconut oil, then sprinkle with sugar and shredded coconut.
  8. Roll tightly into a log; slice into twelve pieces and place in a greased baking dish.
  9. Allow rolls to rise again for about an hour before baking at 375°F for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  10. Cool slightly before glazing with a mixture of heavy cream and powdered sugar.
