Okay let's grab the tried-and-true cinnamon bun recipe and switch up a couple of ingredients.

Bun dough:

1 cup mashed potatoes
2 tbsp yeast
2 cups warm milk or potato water
3/4 cup softened butter
2 eggs beaten
3/4 cup sugar

6 cups of flour

Inside the buns:
3Tbsp melted butter (to spread onto dough)

1 can of crushed pineapple, very well drained (save the pineapple juice)

3/4 cup sweetened coconut

3 Tbsp cornstarch

(if you want it to be sweeter, add 1/2 cup brown sugar)

Mix potatoes and oil in blender. (Potatoes can be blended with the milk.)

Add the other ingredients and mix well. Add 6 cups flour and knead until soft. Cover and let rise 1 hour.

Punch and make rolls with pineapple/coconut filling. Let rolls rise 30 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes.



Sauce:
1/2 cup sugar
1 can coconut milk
1/4 cup heavy cream

all of the pineapple juice
2 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp vanilla

Mix. Heat to boiling. Pour over rolls when done or just before serving. Enjoy!
