This Potato Bread recipe using instant potato flakes is so easy to make in your bread machine! This bread is soft, fluffy, and oh-so-good! It is simple, delicious, and so easy using instant potatoes instead of real mashed potatoes. Using potatoes in any form in your bread will make your bread softer, fluffier, and give your bread a better texture, chew, and will help your bread stay fresh longer. I store lots and lots of instant potatoes in my prepper pantry and long term food storage, so I love to pull these out and use them when making a homemade loaf of bread to help my bread be even better. Try this recipe and let me know what you think of using instant potatoes in your bread does to improve your loaves!
