Cheddar Potato Rolls

• 1 1/4 -ounce packet active dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
• 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
• 1 medium russet potato (7 to 8 ounces)
• 1 stick plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the baking dish
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon mustard powder
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• 2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese (about 8 ounces)
• Vegetable oil, for brushing

1. Combine 1 cup warm water (105 degrees F to 110 degrees F) and the yeast in a medium bowl; let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
2. Sift 1 1/2 cups flour over the yeast; stir until mostly smooth.
3. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until doubled in size with large bubbles on the surface, 20 to 30 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, prick the potato all over with a fork; microwave until tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
5. Let cool, then peel the potato and grate on the large holes of a box grater.
6. Combine 1 stick butter, the sugar, salt and mustard powder in a stand mixer; beat with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
7. Beat in the eggs and grated potato until combined, then beat in the yeast mixture and 1 1/2 cups cheddar until incorporated.
8. Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually beat in the remaining 2 1/2 cups flour until the dough starts coming together in a soft, sticky ball.
9. (You may not need all of the flour.)
10. Gather into a loose ball and transfer to a lightly oiled bowl; turn to coat.
11. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
12. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
13. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 24 pieces.
14. Shape each piece into a ball, dusting with flour as needed, and arrange in the baking dish, slightly touching.
15. Set aside until the rolls are lightly puffed, about 20 minutes.
16. Lightly oil a sheet of foil and loosely cover the rolls, oiled-side down.
17. Bake until just firm to the touch, about 30 minutes.
18. Uncover, brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar.
19. Continue baking until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 20 more minutes.
20. Let cool at least 20 minutes before serving.
