1. To quickly make mash potatoes, place the cubed potatoes in a microwave bowl covered with plastic wrap.

Set aside 130g or ½ Cup for the Dough
2. In a measuring glass combine the heated milk with the yeast and 20g of sugar. Sugar is important in helping activate the yeast. Mix well, then add in 1 whole egg and an egg yolk. Mix again, then set aside to bloom for at least 5 minutes
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add in the flour, salt, remaining sugar, along with the mashed potatoes, softened butter & yeast mixture. Kneed for 10 minutes or until nice and smooth
4. Remove the dough from the mixer and form into a ball on a clean worksurface. Place the dough ball into a lightly greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and rise for 1 hour
5. Once risen, punch down your dough and divide into 12 even dough balls
6. Make as many buns as you need! (You can freeze the rest to have fresh bread whenever you want! Just leave the frozen dough out on the counter for 4-6 hours or in the fridge over night for fresh dough without the hassle)
7. Place the dough balls onto a parchment line baking sheet
8. Place an inverted baking sheet over the top of the dough and let rise for an additional 2 hours
9. Once Risen, brush with a whole milk, egg mixture and sprinkle over sesame seeds (optional). Then bake in a 375° oven for 18 minutes or until golden brown and fluffy
Caesar Salad:
1. Begin by slicing and juicing the lemon, separate the yolk from the egg and then mince both the garlic and anchovies, if necessary
2. Once the ingredients are prepared, place all into a food processor and begin emulsifying. Start your blender on the lowest setting then gradually increase the speed until you have maxed out the blender. Mix until a thick dressing form
3. Combine with thin slice romaine lettuce
Buttermilk Fried Chicken:
1. In a bowl, mix the buttermilk and half of the dry seasoning.
2. Place in the chicken and let marinate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours
