All the conditions were right for this bread...snowing all day, homemade soup, oven temp at 350, according to oven thermometer. I loved not having to use potato flakes & I really wanted to love this recipe. It was so easy & has a good combination of flavors but it just would not cook through. The middle of the bread, after 40 minutes in the oven, was still about a half dollar size with a mushy oatmeal texture. I used 3 potatoes as they were not baking potatoes & are smaller than what I thought of as large. I think it would be really helpful to note the actual measurement of potato we should have after processing it (like, "1 cup of potato puree"). The bread was extremely dense & I felt as I was making it that I should use half all purpose flour but I chose to follow the recipe exactly as written instead. I would like to try this recipe again with all white flour or half wheat & half bread flour. My family is more than willing to try it again but tonight's loaf, I'm sad to say, we couldn't even eat. Thanks for sharing your recipe, sszz. If I make this again with better results I will come back with an update. :) Made for New Kids on the Block tag game.
