Irish Potato Bread

[heart_this] · Mar 13, 2019 · 17 Comments

Irish Potato Bread

A quick and easy Irish style potato bread that is super moist and tender!

Homemade bread is the best and it’s hard to beat a quick and easy Irish soda bread but this potato bread is a definite winner! This potato bread is just as easy to make as a soda bread, in fact it’s pretty much the same recipe with the addition of potatoes and the potatoes help keep this bread so nice and moist and tender giving it a heavenly texture! Serve this bread while still warm with meting butter on top along side a stew or a soup! Leftover are great when fried in butter or bacon grease until golden brown and crispy! Yum!

    This looks great. Just need to clarify the tater situation. That’s 2 cups shredded AND 2 cups mashed correct? I can’t wait to try this as soon as I’m sure. Thanks Kevin. Love your recipes.

    Regarding the “mashed potatoes” in ingredient list: are thesecpotatoes that have been mashed with butter & milk? Or just the potatoes?
    Thanks

      You can use either. I usually just mash some potatoes for this recipes but using leftovers from last nights dinner (with butter and milk) also works! Enjoy!

    Question: What type of potato did you use for this bread? Russet, Yukon Gold type, etc? I certainly want to replicate the handsome, delicious loaf pictured in this post!

    Hi Kevin! I’m looking forward to fixing this Irish Potato Bread; thanks for sharing!! I was wondering if using leftover Irish Colcannon Potatoes for the mashed potatoes would work?

    I followed the recipe to a T but had to increase the baking time and even then it was heavy and doughy. I wonder if one should wring the shredded potatoes dry in a tea towel first?

      If the shredded potato is really moist, yes, squeeze the excess liquid and pat them dry with paper towels.

    So…the shredded potatoes are raw and the mashed potatoes are cooked. Yes? Have I read this correctly?
