Yukon Gold Potato Bread Recipe

Homemade Potato Bread bakes up light and fluffy, with a tender golden crust and a mild buttery flavor! This bread is soft yet sturdy enough for sandwiches or dunking into your favorite beef stew.

Serve a slice fresh from the oven with a slather of butter, make a gourmet sandwich, or cool and freeze for another day. Potato bread is one of the easiest, most delicious bread recipes in our recipe box.

There are different types of potato bread, this version is similar to white bread but a little bit heartier. It is different from Irish potato bread (which is more like a skillet bread).

POTATOES Russets are the best potatoes to use since they have a high starch content. However, any variety will do. The potatoes are cooked and mashed, leftover mashed potatoes have added milk/butter and may or may not work well in this recipe. For the best results, I’d recommend cooking the potatoes on their own for this recipe.

YEAST/SUGAR/BUTTER These ingredients are required for the proper rising of the dough. Sugar is needed to activate the yeast so it can properly bind with the potatoes and flour. Butter is added to the dough to create flavor and bake some color into the crust.

MILK In this recipe the milk is heated to just before boiling and then cooled. This is known as scalding and  it helps the bread rise better as it denatures some of the proteins. This step can be skipped but I do find it gives a better rise. Heat the milk just until small bubbles form along the sides of the pot. As soon as you see small bubbles on the side, remove it from the heat.

Notes Scalding milk means it is heated just below boiling. I use an instant-read thermometer but if you don't have one, heat the milk just until small bubbles form along the sides of the pot. As soon as you see small bubbles on the side, remove it from the heat. Scalding the milk helps the bread rise better as it denatures some of the proteins.
