The BEST hamburger buns have this ingredient

These are hands down my favorite hamburger buns. Adding baked and riced potato and using your sourdough starter with a long, natural fermentation results in a bun with incredible softness and flavor complexity. PLUS, it can hang on to all toppings—don't be shy, pile them on; they can take it.
