It has been at least five years since I made a potato bread this sounds wonderful and the aroma while baking is always welcome.
five forks and a smile :)


I love finding new bread recipes to try out. Thanks for this one. Do you happen to know how many loaves this will make? 5 forks from me too.


Sounds so good and like it came from your Grandma,I am thinking it will make two 8" loaves or maybe it is two 9" loaves,wonder if it could just be made into a round loaf.Thanks for sharing.


I love potato bread - makes such good buns for sandwiches, too...I have sworn to learn how to make bread this year. This looks like a great place to start...love your grandma's comment on the recipe card!
