1 med. potato
Water
2 pkgs. dry yeast
2 tbsp. softened butter
2 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. salt
1 c. warm milk
6 1/2-7 c. flour

Peel and dice potato; boil in water to cover until tender. Drain, reserving liquid. Add hot tape water to potato liquid to make 1 cup; cool to warm. Mash potato and set aside.

Pour warm potato water into large bowl. Stir in yeast then butter, sugar and salt. Mix in potato, milk and 3 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough additional flour to make a kneadable dough. Turn out on floured board and knead until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover and let rise in warm place for 35 minutes.

Punch dough down, turn over in bowl, cover and let rise again for 20 minutes. Punch dough down and divide in half. Shape into loaves and place in two greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 50 minutes. Dust loaves with flour. Bake at 375 degrees about 35 minutes.
