FANTASTIC for the oven, tasty and fluffy, amazing. But, how to do this in a bread machine? been looking for a bread machine potato recipe but they all want dry flakes and no real potatoes! Need a 2 LB recipe. Oven is good too but would like to use my machine more. :DD

Loved this bread. It rose much quicker than usual so I let it go a bit too much. Will check it sooner next time. Loved it with jam for breakfast.

Made this for the second time and it's excellent! This time I used white whole wheat flour and it's so good I'm making a second batch to share! Thanx for sharing!

Fabulous! This is a pretty basic bread recipe that turned out awesome. The bread was fluffy and moist. We used margarine instead of shortening and it seemed to work just fine.
