Potato Bread Recipe

I wish you could of smelled this bread as it baked…. I have spent all week working on the new site design for That’s My Home and while going thru the recipes there found this one that I had forgotten how good it was. I decided today to bake it up and share it with you. It is so good, has a great texture and is very light. Tomorrow I am going to make grilled cheese sandwiches with it. It grills wonderfully.

I got my Panini Grill out to make the grilled sandwiches. Love, love this Panini grill. One of the things I like about it is that it has removable grills so I can grill a sandwich or do hamburgers on a cooking surface that allows the grease to drain off. The top is also adjustable so it can do varying heights of sandwiches.
