This Oat and Potato Bread, with an oat studded crust, is so moist and soft, and perfect for serving with your favorite hearty breakfast.
This bread is kind of like a baked potato in a loaf of bread. Oh, and it smells incredible when it's baking.
Bread made with potatoes can be hard to control for moisture because of the potatoes in the dough. I've experienced this with both sweet potato bread and bread with Russet potatoes.

One way to control for this is to use potato flour or potato flakes in a recipe. On the flip side, you just don't get the same potato-y aroma or the the potato skin flavor in the bread or rolls.
This bread uses a lot of potatoes in relation to the flour. The first time I made this bread, the dough felt fine after the kneading, but after the first rise, the dough had become more sticky and difficult to shape into a loaf. I was pretty worried about the final loaf! In fact, the loaf kind of collapsed in the middle, and I was worried about what I would find when slicing the bread.
It turned out fine, if not a bit squatty. Still, I needed to figure out how to control for the moisture and achieve a loaf that would rise consistently and produce a nicely dense moist crumb.

This time, after boiling and draining the potatoes, I returned them to the dry pan and cooked them, stirring, until any excess moisture cooked off and the potatoes dried out a bit. This seemed to help with all of the excess moisture. There was no need to add any extra flour.
When boiling the potatoes for this bread, I left the skins on the potato pieces and mashed them into the mixture to add a little more potato flavor. You really can't see them in the bread, but if you're not a fan, feel free to peel the potatoes before boiling.
This oat and potato bread is so versatile. It's wonderful for sandwiches, with soup, toasted with butter, or grilled with cheddar, chives, and bacon, kind of like a twice-baked potato.
Healthy & Tasty Sweet Potato Bread
I have only tried this bread with russet potatoes, but I'd love to hear your results if you try it with Yukon Golds, red potatoes, or white potatoes. Did you make any adjustments?
For the potato, I started with a 10 ounce raw russet potato to get to the one cup of mashed potatoes called for in this recipe. Of course, you can use leftover mashed potatoes too.
