Story
|
Whenever I buy dinner rolls, I automatically reach for the potato rolls. That's because they are heartier than the "plain" kind. I found out that they are not that hard to make once you get your system down. They taste 100% better than store-bought, and they're cheaper, too. This is a really nice touch to a holiday or any special meal.
