Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed potatoes (unsalted)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, melted butter, milk, and egg. Mix until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir together gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using, fold in the chopped chives for added flavor.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm with butter, or as a side to your favorite soup or stew.
