Here's a family recipe from a friend of mine for Crescent Rolls that I've made and they are so easy and sooo good!!

Crescent Rolls
1 pkg. active dry yeast
1  1/2 C. warm water
1 C. unseasoned lukewarm mashed potatoes
2/3 C. sugar
2/3 C. Crisco
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp. salt
6 to 7 C. all purpose flour

Dissolve yeast in warm water in large bowl. Stir in potatoes, sugar, Crisco, eggs, salt and 3 C. of the flour. Beat until smooth. Mix in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in greased bowl; turn greased side up. Cover bowl tightly; refrigerate at least 8 hours but no longer than 5 days.
Punch down; divide into 4 equal parts. Roll 1/4 of dough into 12" circle on floured surface. Spread with margarine, softened. Cut into 16 wedges. Roll up tightly, beginning at rounded edges, stretching dough as it is rolled. Place rolls with points underneath on greased cookie sheet; curve slightly. Let rise 1 hour. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Bake 15 minutes.
