I found this recipe several years ago in Light Cooking, but hadn't tried it until recently. This makes a substantial loaf with a delicate flavor. If you want a stronger spice flavor, then just increase the 1/4 tsp. measurements of the cinnamon and nutmeg to your liking.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes. Russet potatoes are the best choice for potato quick bread because they are starchy and have a high moisture content. This will help to create a moist and fluffy bread.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are very soft. This will help them to mash easily and incorporate smoothly into the batter.
  • Mash the potatoes until they are very smooth. Any lumps will make the bread gritty.
  • Use a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour. This will give the bread a good balance of flavor and texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bread tough.
  • Bake the bread in a greased and floured loaf pan. This will help to prevent the bread from sticking to the pan.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Potato quick bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is moist, fluffy, and has a slightly sweet flavor. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect potato quick bread every time. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy bread recipe, give potato quick bread a try!
