Lori, Here's the formula I came up with: 1 cup (8 ounces) unseasoned mashed potato; 1 cup of the potato water (water in which the potato was boiled) 2 cups lukewarm milk; 2 tablespoons instant yeast; 3 tablespoons sugar; 1 tablespoon + 3/4 teaspoon salt; and 9 cups of flour. That's right, there's no fat in these loaves beyond what's in the milk; so I suggest using whole milk. Mixed, kneaded, rose in the bowl, deflated, shaped, put into my 9" x 4" loaf pans (you could use 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" or 9" x 5", though the 9" x 5" will make a shorter, wider loaf). Let rise until light, then baked at 350°F for 40 to 45 minutes, until golden brown. Sorry I can't be more specific; I didn't write down all the details. Good luck, and enjoy! PJH
