BRAIDED ONION-POTATO LOAF



Braided Onion-Potato Loaf image

Ever wonder why a bread recipe includes mashed potatoes? The potato's starchy quality absorbs liquid during the kneading stage, and it holds onto that liquid during baking. The bread finishes with a crisp, brown exterior crust and a flavorful, moist interior that helps the bread keep longer. -Joan Ranzini, Waynesboro, Virginia

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For a smooth and creamy loaf, use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold. These potatoes will hold their shape well during the baking process.
  • Cook the potatoes thoroughly: Undercooked potatoes will make the loaf dense and gummy. Make sure the potatoes are cooked until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
  • Drain the potatoes well: Excess water in the potatoes will make the loaf watery. Drain the potatoes thoroughly before mashing them.
  • Use a food processor or blender to mash the potatoes: This will give you a smooth and creamy texture. If you mash the potatoes by hand, make sure there are no lumps.
  • Season the potatoes well: Don't be shy with the salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or herbs.
  • Use a combination of flours: All-purpose flour and whole wheat flour create a loaf that is both tender and flavorful. You can also use other flours like rye flour or oat flour.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the loaf tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Bake the loaf in a greased loaf pan: This will help the loaf to rise evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Let the loaf cool before slicing: This will help the loaf to hold its shape.

Conclusion:

Potato onion loaf is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course, side dish, or even a snack. It's a great way to use up leftover potatoes and onions, and it's also a budget-friendly meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying loaf that the whole family will enjoy.
