Irish Potato Bread

Irish Potato Bread are little pillows of heaven. And just in time for St. Patrick’s Day! It’s one of these beautiful and blessed days that I love spending it in the kitchen. This is a traditional recipe done in a non traditional way….but aren’t all my recipes done that way.

Ingredients

• 1 cup Milk, warm
• 1 package {1/4 oz} Active Dry Yeast
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted
• 1 1/2 cups Mashed Potatoes {About 3 large potatoes, boiled and mashed.}
• 1 tablespoon Kosher Salt
• 4 cups Flour, plus more for dusting
• 2 whole Green Onions, thinly sliced crosswise, for garnish

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a mixing bowl or your stand mixer combine the warm milk, yeast, and honey. Let stand for 15 minutes until mixture looks foamy and puffed. Add the melted butter, mashed potatoes and kosher salt and combine. Slowly start incorporating the flour, one cup at a time. Mixture will be tacky and elastic looking. If too wet add a little more flour.
3. Knead dough for 10 minutes. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead by hand for few minutes. In a separate bowl, drizzle in a little olive oil to coat the inside of the bowl. Place the dough in the bowl and roll in the olive oil to coat. Cover with plastic wrap or a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
