Irish Potato Bread Recipe 445

Steps:

• Position rack in the center of the oven and heat to 375º F. Grease the inside of an 8″ cast iron skillet or baking dish and set aside. Mix together the mashed and grated potatoes. Add in egg and egg white, oil, and milk until well combined. In another mixing bowl stir together, green onion, caraway seed, flours, and salt. Stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix well (dough will be shaggy and a bit sticky). Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead 7 to 8 times until a soft ball forms. Place dough in the center of the prepared pan and gently pat to cover the entire pan evenly. Using a sharp knife cut an "X" into the top about ½" deep. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until top is nicely browned and bread sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes before removing bread from the pan. Place bread on a wire rack to cool. Allow bread to rest for an hour before slicing to avoid crumbling.

Steps:

• Please note the above ingredients are approximate. Potato Bread is best made while potatoes are still hot.
• Peel and boil potatoes until tender.
• While hot, mash potatoes well with salt and butter.
• Gradually work in flour in smaller increments until a soft dough forms. Dough should be a little tacky but workable.
• Turn out onto floured surface and knead for about 1 minute.
• Divide and roll into a circular shape about 9" and 1/4" thick.
• Cut into 6 or 8 'farls' (wedges).
• Grill in a hot, greased griddle or pan until well browned on both sides.
