I can't think of anything that hasn't already been suggested at the moment, so I'll just add my two cents to one of the previous suggestions:
Potato bread is great stuff. Potato flour is available in a number of grocery stores near me, from Safeway (the big chain) to the little markets. It makes things a good deal easier if (like me) you don't otherwise make potatoes often. It's also nice to have around to add to other types of bread, it does nice things to the texture. That said, making potato bread from potatoes is cheaper and better. I usually get yukon gold or red potatos and boil them, though I've heard others say the flavor is better if you bake the potatoes (I haven't tried that). Here's a great recipe for a potato bread that's a big hit in my house. I've made it with both commercial yeast and with sourdough and it's always a favorite here. Have always left out the bacon though it sounds great to me. I live with a vegetarian who loves the bread, so I'd feel bad leaving her out.
The recipe I linked suggests that it works fine with leftover mashed potatoes, salt and all, but since I make mine specifically for bread use, I always boil them unsalted to keep my measures simple.
What a great-looking site, RK! Can't wait to try some of the posted recipes.........the potato bread looks yummy!!!! I also like the idea of adding the chives (only found garlic chives over here but I think that'd they be great), bacon, and a bit of cheese........thanks for the site
