1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast

8 tablespoons sugar, divided

1 cup warm water

1/2 cup butter, melted

2 eggs

1/4 cup warm mashed potatoes (without added milk and butter)

1 cup raisins

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar in warm water.

Stir in raisins and enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
