1 1/2 c. milk
3/8 c. sugar
3/8 c. butter flavored Crisco (6 T.)
1/2 c. instant potato flakes

1 1/2 t. salt
2 eggs
2 1/4 t. yeast
3 3/4 c. flour

Microwave the milk for 3 minutes on high.  Pour hot milk into a bowl of a stand mixer and then add each consecutive ingredient, mixing well after each.  Add additional flour if needed utnil the dough pulls away from the sides of bowl.  Grease another large bowl.  Turn dough into the bowl and cover with clean dish towel and set in a warm place to rise for an hour or until doubled.  

Roll down into rectangular shape, and a spread softened butter across all.  Fold the dough in half, from the top to meet at the bottom.  Using a pizza cutter, cut into 3/4 inch strips.  Take each strip and twist and tie in a knot.  Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cover with clean towel.  Let rise for up to 3 hours or until rolls are puffy.  Bake at 370 for about 10 minutes.  

After they come out of the oven, rub the tops with butter and salt with kosher/large grain salt.
