Boil the Potato: Start by peeling and cutting a large potato into chunks. Boil the potato in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Mash the Potato: Drain the water and mash the potato until smooth. Make sure there are no lumps, as these could affect the texture of the bread. Let the mashed potato cool slightly before adding to the dough.
Step 2: Activate the Yeast
Mix Yeast, Water, and Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes foamy. This means the yeast is activated.
Step 3: Mix the Dough
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, warm milk, softened butter, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Add Yeast Mixture: Add the activated yeast mixture to the bowl and stir to combine.
Incorporate Flour: Gradually add the flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing until a dough forms. You may need to add more or less flour depending on how sticky the dough is. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky but should come together into a ball.
Step 4: Knead the Dough
