Thanks...got it ..I think it WAS your recipe..sounds like the title anyways.

Answer 1

Old Fashioned Potato Bread

1 med. potato, peeled and diced
2 pkgs. dry yeast
2 tbsp. butter or margarine
2 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. salt
1 c. milk
5 1/2 to 6 c. all-purpose flour

Cook potato in a small amount of boiling water 10 to 15 minutes or until tender; drain and reserve liquid. Mash potato, and measure 3/4 cup; set aside. Add enough water to reserved liquid to make 1 cup; cool to 105 to 115 degrees. Dissolve yeast in potato liquid in a large mixing bowl. Add butter and stir well. Stir in sugar, salt, milk, mashed potatoes, and 1 cup flour. Gradually stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a stiff dough. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 to 10 minutes). Place in a well greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees) free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in bulk. Punch dough down, and divide in half. Shape each half into a loaf. Place in two well-greased 8 x 4 x 3 inch loaf pans. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees), free from drafts. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes or until loaves sound hollow when tapped. Yield 2 loaves.

Hope that helps..........
