Mix the sugar, butter or shortening, scalded milk, potato flakes, and salt until lukewarm.

Add the yeast and let sit for 1 minute and then whisk in the eggs and zest

Add 6 cups of the flour and stir until the dough has come together, but is still soft, you may need to add an extra 1/2 cup, but reserve the last 1/2 cup for heavily flouring the counter and dough when it's time to roll them out. This is not like a bread dough. It is a slightly sticky dough.

Let dough rise for one hour.

Push down and divide dough into 3 parts.

Flour your counter and the top of the dough.

Roll out to 1/2" thick and butter 1/2 of dough.

Fold the dough over and cut into 1" wide strips.

Tie into knots and place on cookie sheet.

Let rise for 1-2 hours more.

Bake at 350 until golden brown, (14-20 min)

Mix together, all of the ingredients until a thicker glaze forms.

Once rolls have cooled slightly glaze them!
