Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mashed potatoes (plain, without butter or milk)
- 0.5 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
Add the mashed potatoes to the dry ingredients and mix until the potatoes are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Pour in the milk and melted butter, then stir gently until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be soft but not sticky.
Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly using a spatula or your hands.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
