How to Make Quick Potato Bread

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease and flour a 2-pound loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the cooked potatoes until smooth.
  3. Add the warm milk, sugar, and salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix well to combine.
  4. In a separate bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  5. Add the yeast mixture to the potato mixture. Stir in the melted butter.
  6. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  7. Place the dough in the prepared loaf pan and let rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  8. Bake for 50 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
