- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp active dry yeast
- 3 tbs warm water (not hot!)
- generous pinch of salt

Preparation
Wash, peel, and cut your potatoes into one inch cubes
Boil them in a pot for ~10 or until soft and tender
Add yeast, sugar, and warm water into a bowl
Mix and set aside to allow the yeast to get active and bubbly
When your potatoes are done, drain completely and mash until no clumps remain
Add 1 tbs oil to your potatoes. in a large bowl, add flour, salt, and yeast mixture along with the mashed potatoes. u
Use your hands to combine everything together
Then add in your egg and use your hands to knead until you form a dough ball.. add turmeric here if you're using. g
Grease a medium bowl and place your dough bowl in and allow it to rest in a warm area for 30-60 mins or doubled in size. then remove dough and place it on a lightly floured surface and cut into 4 dough balls
Roll each one into a tight ball shape- make sure you keep the other dough covered to prevent them from drying out while doing this step
Prepare all 4 dough balls and then punch each one down to release all the air pockets to form round discs
Cover and let rise again for 30-45 minutes (last rise, I promise!). preheat your oven to 400ºF
Make egg wash and lightly brush your buns and top with sesame seeds- optional step
Ou can also bake sans egg wash and it will be fine. bake for 15-18 minutes and cool for 5 minutes before slicing
Dd your burger fillings and enjoy
