   1                cup  Idahoan(r) Original Mashed Potatoes -- Note *
   1 1/2           cups  warm water
   4 1/2            tsp  active dry yeast -- (.25 oz) 2 pkgs))
   2        tablespoons  sugar
   2        tablespoons  melted cooled butter -- or oil

   4 1/2           cups  all-purpose flour -- or more as needed

If you've ever tried potato bread, you know that the addition of 
mashed potatoes makes for some nice, soft bread and, unlike a lot of 
homemade breads, these loaves stay soft for a surprising number of days.

Prep: 25 min
Cook: 35 min
Ready In: 3 hr

Preheat oven to 350F.

In a mixing bowl, combine warm water and yeast; let stand for several minutes.

Prepare the instant mashed potatoes and stir into yeast mixture along 
with sugar, butter, and salt; mix well.

Stir in enough flour to make a soft dough.

Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead 5 to 8 minutes, or 
until dough is smooth and elastic, adding flour as needed.

Place dough in bowl, cover, and let rise 1 hour. Punch dough down, 
divide in half, and shape each half into a loaf.

Place in 4 x 8" loaf pans, cover, and let rise 30 to 45 minutes, or 
until doubled.

Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool on wire rack.

Note: * Or try one of our flavored varieties to add some extra flair.

Review: I too was confused at first whether the recipe called for dry 
flakes, or prepared instant flakes. Having made other bread and cake 
recipes using potatoes, and looking at the water to flour ratio, I 
decided prepared potatoes would be the best. I did not hand knead, 
but used my KitchenAid mixer to knead the dough on speed 2 for about 
3 minutes. The recipe produces a rich flavor and a soft, almost moist 
texture. While the loaves are a little on the small side, they would 
be perfect for toast and jam or breakfast breads, or just to eat 
slathered with butter. Additionally, I brushed the tops with butter 
directly after removing them from the oven, to accomplish a soft 
buttery top. (I do this with almost all of my bread recipes).

Review: This is a good bread. Instead of kneading, I made this in my 
Kitchenaid mixer. I[m not sure if I did something incorrect, but I 
needed more water than called for. It turned out very good. Will 
probably make again.

Review: Have made this several times now. Made the first time exactly 
as written and it was delicious. It is sooo good toasted with butter 
and marmalade or jam. My son loves to make sandwiches with it. I now 
switch out 2 cups of the AP flour for whole wheat flour for a nuttier 
flavor. Super easy recipe to follow and has turned out perfect every 
time I've made it.

Review: Fantastic recipe! Next time I'll play with add-ins (whole 
wheat, flax meal, wheat germ, etc). I spritzed the oven with water 
and buttered the tops for the last 20 minutes. Made a lovely crust.

Review: I love this bread!! I diced & boiled regular potatoes, mashed 
them, & measured out 1 cup. It turned out great!! This may be my new 
"go-to" recipe for regular bread. Thanks for sharing!
