Method

Combine scalded milk, mashed potatoes, shortening, sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl and let stand until lukewarm.
Add one package of yeast (softened in 1/2 cup lukewarm water).
Add two well-beaten eggs and 1 1/2 cups flour. Beat well.
Add about four more cups of sifted flour to make stiff dough.
Put in a large greased bowl and turn so that all of the dough is greased.
Let rise at least two hours.
About 1 1/2 hours before serving, punch down and roll out dough.
Cut into walnut-sized squares and dip each into melted butter, then pile in fluted tube pan.
Pour remaining butter over top.
Let rise (about one hour) then bake 20-25 minutes at 375 degrees F (If crispier bread desired, cook at 400 degrees F)
Serve hot.
