There’s something incredibly comforting about the smell of freshly baked bread. But when you add mashed potatoes into the mix, you get a loaf that’s truly irresistible.

Whether served warm with a pat of butter, toasted with your favorite jam, or used to make the best sandwiches, this potato bread recipe is sure to become a staple in your kitchen.
Why Potato Bread?
Potato bread stands out for its unique texture and flavor. The addition of mashed potatoes creates a bread that stays soft for longer than traditional loaves, thanks to the extra moisture.

This makes potato bread an excellent companion to savory dishes, like stews or roasted meats, as well as sweet ones, like honey or jam.
