   1                    Pkg yeast -- not instant
     1/4  c             Water
     1/2  c             Milk
   1      c             Mashed potatoes
     1/4  c             Vegetable oil
   2      tb            Sugar
   1 1/2  ts            Salt
   1      lg            Egg
   1 1/2  c             Ham -- diced
   4 1/2  c             All-purpose flour
     1/4  c             Sesame seeds

Soften yeast in 1/4 cup warm water in a large mixing bowl for about
5 minutes.

Stir in milk which has been scalded and cooled to lukewarm. Add
potatoes, oil, sugar, and salt. Cut salt amount if mashed potatoes
were prepared with salt. Add egg, ham and 2 cups flour. Beat very
well.

Cover and let rise in warm place until light and double in size,
about 1 to 1-1/2 hours.

Stir in remaining flour (may not need quite all) to form a stiff
dough. Knead until smooth, about 4 to 5 minutes.

Sprinkle 1 tb sesame seeds on greased cookie sheet. Roll out half of
dough on cookie sheet to a 14x10" rectangle. Brush with milk and
sprinkle with 1 tb sesame seeds. Repeat with remaining dough, using a
second cookie sheet.

Cover and let rise until light, about 1 hour. Bake in preheated
400°F oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Cool, then cut into 1" squares to serve with Swiss Fondue or cut into
large slices to serve with soups or stews.
