Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed potatoes (unsalted)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, melted butter, milk, and egg. Mix until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir together gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
If using, fold in the chopped chives for added flavor.
Step 6
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Step 9
Serve warm with butter, or as a side to your favorite soup or stew.
