Check that your breadmaker's pan is clean and the kneading paddle is securely attached.
Add mashed potatoes, buttermilk, and water to the breadmaker pan.
Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave or on the stovetop, then add it to the pan.
Sprinkle the salt and sugar evenly over the liquid ingredients.
Layer the all-purpose flour and bread flour on top, ensuring full coverage of the liquid ingredients.
Make a small well in the center of the flour, taking care not to reach the liquid layer below, and add the instant yeast into the well.
Secure the breadmaker pan inside the machine and close the lid.
Select the 'Basic White Bread' or equivalent program on your breadmaker. Set the loaf size to 1 1/2 lbs and the desired crust color (light, medium, or dark).
Start the breadmaker program and allow it to run through the kneading, rising, and baking cycles as programmed.
When the breadmaker signals that it is done, carefully remove the pan using oven mitts (it will be hot).
Gently turn the pan upside down to release the loaf onto a wire rack. Allow the bread to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
