Potato bread is a soft, moist bread made by incorporating mashed or powdered potatoes into traditional flour-based dough. Originating from Ireland and other European countries, it is a staple in various cuisines, celebrated for its tender texture and slight sweetness. Its ingredients typically include flour, potatoes, water, yeast, and a touch of salt, with occasional additions like butter or milk for richness. Potatoes bring extra moisture and natural starch, resulting in a bread that stays fresh longer. Nutritionally, potato bread offers a modest boost of potassium and vitamin C from the potatoes while maintaining the fiber and carbohydrate benefits of bread. However, its calorie content can vary depending on added fats and sugars. Generally lower in gluten than wheat-only bread, it can be an option for those seeking a bread that's gentler on digestion. Despite its hearty appeal, moderation is key to balancing its caloric intake in a healthy diet.
