Does potato bread taste good?

We might be biased, but we definitely think so! It has a flavor very similar to white bread and is even softer in texture.

Is potato bread a healthy bread?

Of course, it depends on your definition of healthy. However, when compared to other bread recipes, we think potato bread is a great choice as it is a good source of fiber, nutrients, and healthy fats! It’s also free from refined sugar and can be made dairy-free, too.

Can I use a different flour?

We don’t recommend using other flours, because almond flour is very delicate and helps create a soft texture when combined with the potato.

Why do they call it potato bread?

Potato bread gets its name from the use of potatoes (or sometimes potato flour) in the batter.

Do I need to peel my potatoes?

Yes, you will want to peel the potatoes for this recipe. Otherwise, your bread will turn out lumpy!

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease an 8×4 or 9×5 loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca flour, salt, baking soda, and onion powder making sure there are no clumps.
In a second large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and oil. Add the vinegar to the wet ingredients and set aside.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until a smooth batter forms. Fold in the mashed potato and dried herbs.
Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan. If desired, sprinkle the top with extra herbs and/or parmesan cheese.
Bake for 45 minutes and then loosely cover with aluminum foil and bake for another 10- 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. *Total bake time can vary depending on your oven; check for doneness at 45 minutes before covering and continuing to bake.
Remove from the oven and let the loaf cool completely in the pan before removing and serving. The bread will be too soft to cut into slices if it is warm.
Store in the refrigerator wrapped in plastic wrap or a sealed container for up to a week.

Notes

Baking Tips – Use 1 medium russet potato (about 250-275 grams with skin on). Peel the potato, then bake in the oven or microwave until tender. Flake with a fork or use a cheese grater. Fill a 1 cup measuring cup with the “mashed potato” or about 150g. Then add to the recipe in Step 4. Premade mashed potatoes (the kind with heavy cream and butter) may create too dense of a center for a bread that is already moist. It’s best to use a plain potato that is “mashed” with a fork.

Storage Tips – Wrap the loaf in aluminum foil and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

The original version with gluten free all purpose flour and yeast can be found HERE. It’s more of a sandwich style bread/texture.
