Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup mashed potatoes (plain, without butter or milk)
• 0.5 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 tablespoon sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.

Step 3

Add the mashed potatoes to the dry ingredients and mix until the potatoes are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 4

Pour in the milk and melted butter, then stir gently until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be soft but not sticky.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly using a spatula or your hands.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Let the loaf cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
