Questions about Potato bread
What is potato bread?
The name can mean a soft loaf made with potato in the dough, or a potato-based flatbread such as Irish potato farls. Farls are usually made with mashed potato and flour, then cooked on a hot, lightly floured griddle.
How do you toast potato bread?
Toast slices in a toaster until golden, or fry them in a little butter over a medium heat for a crisp outside. They brown quickly, so keep an eye on them.
How do you store potato bread?
Keep it in a sealed bag or bread bin at room temperature and use it within a few days. For longer storage, freeze slices with baking paper between them; toast from frozen or thaw at room temperature.
What goes well with potato bread?
Serve it warm with butter alongside soup or stew, or use slices for a fried-egg sandwich. Potato farls are also a traditional part of an Ulster fry, often fried with bacon, eggs and sausages.
Can you make potato bread with leftover mashed potato?
Yes. Mix cooled, plain mashed potato with flour and a little salt to make a soft dough, adding flour gradually so it does not become stiff. Shape into farls and cook on a lightly floured griddle over medium heat until browned on both sides and hot through.
Can you freeze potato bread?
Yes. Freeze it as slices or in a well-wrapped portion, and separate slices with baking paper so you can take out only what you need. Defrost at room temperature or toast slices straight from the freezer.
How is potato bread different from potato flatbread?
Potato bread is often a risen, soft loaf with potato mixed into the dough, while potato flatbread is rolled or shaped flat and cooked on a griddle. The names overlap, though, and potato farls are one well-known flatbread style.
