Ingredients

1 small Potato, peeled and halved
2 tablespoon Vegetable oil
2 tablespoon Granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon Salt
3 cup All-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoon Quick-rising yeast

Directions

1
In a saucepan of boiling salted water, cook the peeled and halved potato for 10-15 minutes or until tender. Drain, reserving 3/4 cup of the cooking water.
2
Mash the cooked potato thoroughly in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly so it is warm but not hot to the touch.
3
Add the reserved hot potato water, vegetable oil, sugar, and salt to the mashed potato. Stir well to combine.
4
Sprinkle the quick-rising yeast over the wet ingredients and stir gently. Let stand for 5 minutes until the mixture becomes foamy.
5
Add the all-purpose flour to the wet mixture, one cup at a time, stirring until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour; if too dry, add a teaspoon of water.
6
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
7
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
8
Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it on a greased baking sheet or into a greased loaf pan.
9
Cover and let rise again for 30-45 minutes, until nearly doubled.
10
Preheat oven to 375&# 194;Â°F (190ÃÂ°C). Bake the loaf for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 190ÃÂ°F (88ÃÂ°C).
11
Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
