Easy Potato Rolls

After I discovered this recipe, it became a mainstay for me. I make the dough ahead of time when company is coming, and I try to keep some in the refrigerator to make for "hay hands" on our cattle ranch. Leftover mashed potatoes are almost sure to go into these rolls.

does the mashed potatoesi in the yeast rolls has to be at a certain temerature.

Yeast needs warth to disolve, so just make sure that the potatoes are at room temperture.

She makes the dough ahead of time--at what point does she put it into the refrigerator?

 Well, I was just doing some logical extrapolation...er...figuring

I can buy refrigerated pizza dough, to make pizzas, so, I would think that placing some dough in a greased plastic bag, or even easier, roll some dough in a little oil, mking sure it's well coated, and place in a bag in the fridge, with lots of room for expansion, and all you'd have to do is take it out, return it to room temp, shape into rolls, let rise, and bake. The same could be done freezing the dough, as I see the grocers also carry frozen bread dough. I don't think I'd want to keep any dough in the fridge longer than a day or two.
