Loaded Mashed Potato Bread

Quick Bread

Loaded Mashed Potato Bread is such an easy and delicious way to use up leftover mashed potatoes!

This recipe is a quick bread. That means it’s bread that doesn’t use yeast to help it rise. Also called “soda bread,” these quick bread use baking soda or baking powder create rise in the oven. They’re “quick” because you can just pop them in the oven without allowing time for the dough to rise.

Sometimes soda breads can be a little dry. Adding mashed potatoes makes the bread really soft and moist!

Mashed Potatoes

Whether they’re Thanksgiving mashed potatoes, or from a different meal, this is a great way to use them. And the nice thing is, it doesn’t matter what type of taters you made. Regardless of whether you put cream cheese, butter, or milk in them, they’ll all work in this recipe.

We make the “loaded” by use Chef Shamy Garlic Butter in our dough. If you’ve already used the butter to make mashed potatoes, that just means the bread will taste that much better!

We also add bacon, cheese, and chives to complete the “loaded” aspect.

I recommend using cubes of cheese rather than shredded. You get all kinds of cool cheesy pockets that way.

Serve it with soup, salad, or just eat a piece or two for lunch!

Enjoy!
