Potato Bread

Prepared by Arlene McCroy

6 Cups flour

2 Medium potatoes

1 Cup potato water

1/2 Cup butter

3/4 Cup Sugar

2 Eggs with milk to make 1 cup liquid

2 Tsp salt

2 Pkgs yeast

1/4 Cup warm water

Boil potatoes until tender.  Drain, saving one cup of potato water.  Mash potatoes.  Add the cup of potato water and mashed potatoes to a very large bowl.

In a small bowl mix yeast with one tsp of the sugar and add the warm water.  Add the sugar, melted butter and salt to the mashed potatoes.  Stir.  When the potato water mixture is cool, add the yeast mixture.  Add the eggs and milk.

Add flour one cup at a time, and make a soft dough.  Place dough on a floured board and knead it for about 10 minutes.  Dough should be smooth and elastic.

Let dough rise in a warm place, covered, until doubled in size.  Knead a few minutes.  Divide the dough into two loaves.  Place dough in greased bread pans and let rise until doubled in size.

Bake at 400^o for 20 minutes.  Reduce oven to 300^o and finish baking for another 25 minutes.
