   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                         Dough
   10            ounces  russet potato -- 1 large potato, peeled, cut 
in 1" cubes
   3        Tablespoons  unsalted butter -- cut into 6 pieces
   14 2/3        ounces  bread flour -- 2 2/3 cups
   1 1/2      teaspoons  rapid-rise yeast -- or instant yeast
   1 1/2      teaspoons  salt
   2        Tablespoons  fresh dill -- minced
                         Egg Wash
   1              large  egg
   1         Tablespoon  water
   1              pinch  salt

Place potato in medium saucepan and cover with 1 inch cold water (do 
NOT salt the water). Bring to boil over high heat, then reduce to 
simmer and cook until potato is just tender (paring knife slipped in 
and out of potato meets little resistance), 8 to 10 minutes.

Transfer 3/4 cup (6 ounces) potato cooking water to liquid measuring 
cup and let cool completely; drain potatoes. Return potatoes to 
now-empty saucepan and place over low heat. Cook, shaking saucepan 
occasionally, until any surface moisture has evaporated, about 30 
seconds. Off heat, process potatoes through ricer or food mill or 
mash well with potato masher. Measure 1 cup very firmly packed 
potatoes (8 ounces) and transfer to separate bowl. Stir in butter 
until melted and let mixture cool completely before using. Discard 
remaining mashed potatoes or save for another use.

Whisk flour, yeast, and salt together in bowl of stand mixer. Add 
mashed potato mixture to flour mixture and mix with your hands until 
combined (some large lumps are OK). Using dough hook on low speed, 
slowly add potato cooking water and mix until cohesive dough starts 
to form and no dry flour remains, about 2 minutes, scraping down bowl 
as needed. Increase speed to medium-low and knead until dough is 
smooth and elastic and clears sides of bowl, about 8 minutes. Reduce 
speed to low, add dill, and mix until incorporated, about 1 minute.

Transfer dough to lightly floured counter and knead by hand to form 
smooth, round ball, about 30 seconds. Place dough seam side down in 
lightly greased large bowl or container, cover tightly with plastic 
wrap, and let rise until doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Grease 8 1/2 by 4 1/2-inch loaf pan. Press down on dough to deflate. 
Turn dough out onto lightly floured counter (side of dough that was 
against bowl should now be facing up). Press and stretch dough into 8 
by 6-inch rectangle, with long side parallel to counter edge.

Roll dough away from you into firm cylinder, keeping roll taut by 
tucking it under itself as you go. Pinch seam closed and place loaf 
seam side down in prepared pan, pressing dough gently into corners. 
Cover loosely with greased plastic and let rise until loaf reaches 
1/2 inch above lip of pan and dough springs back minimally when poked 
gently with your knuckle, 20 to 30 minutes.

Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 350F. 
Using sharp paring knife or single-edge razor blade, make one 
1/2-inch-deep slash with swift, fluid motion lengthwise along top of 
loaf, starting and stopping about 1/2 inch from ends.

LIghtly beat together the egg, water and salt. Gently brush loaf with 
egg mixture and bake until golden brown and loaf registers 205 to 
210F, 45 to 50 minutes, rotating pan halfway through baking. Let loaf 
cool in pan for 15 minutes. Remove loaf from pan and let cool 
completely on wire rack, about 3 hours, before serving.

Note: If you use a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan, increase the shaped rising 
time by 20 to 30 minutes and start checking for doneness at 35 
minutes (instead of 45).
