4 cups of flour
4 cups of potato
1 tablespoon of salt
2 tablespoons of dry yeast
1 egg
1/2 cup of hot water
Peel and slice potatoes and place in a heavy saucepan covered with salted water. Bring to a boil and simmer for ten minutes or until the potatoes are soft. Set aside to cool. Combine flour, salt, and yeast in a bowl. (You can activate the yeast by putting it in a half cup of heated water 115-125 degrees. I tried this and think my yeast was bad, but the bread still came out awesome).
Place potatoes in a ricer. (It makes them more blendable than mashing). Mix potatoes, flour, and egg and let sit for 30 minutes. On a well floured surface, mix the dough one more time by hand, shape onto a baking sheet. Preheat oven to 450. Place bread on center rack and spray oven with water before closing (this gives the bread a nice crunchy crust). Move bread to bottom rack for another 30 minutes. Enjoy...
