"This recipe comes from a Jewish Baker who said it was the Sabbath Bread of Jewish neighborhoods of pre-World War II. It was originally Potato Bread. The Onions were added at a later date. Since then, I have added chopped tomatoes with green chilies! (Rotelle) This bread became a Sunday favorite."

I am a retired College Professor. I am now involved in "Metal Sculpture". I do all kinds of wildlife sculpture. Eagles are my specialty! I am equally turned on to cooking, having been a Mess Sargent in the Military. I am constantly looking for low fat/low carb recipes that taste GOOD! This is very difficult to do since I love Breads! My passion at the present is "Salt Rising Bread"! TRUE, authentic S.R.B. recipes that work well are very hard to find! However, I have found one! It is listed in my Public recipes.
