cinnamon rolls

I've been making these since I was ten and I was never satisfied with results. Another boy instructed me to use Bisquick and those were terrible. I'm good at making bread but these rolls were never tender. Always too bread-like. I thought the dough needed sugar. Finally, I asked the internet and was answered directly. Use mashed potato in the dough. And that changed everything. Same thing with hamburger buns. Even instant mashed potatoes work.
