Ingredients

For the Cheesy Potato Bread

2 cups mashed potatoes Leftover mashed potatoes work perfectly here!
2 cups all-purpose flour This gives the bread its structure.
1 cup shredded cheese Cheddar is a classic choice.
1/4 cup milk Adds moisture to the batter.
1/4 cup butter melted, for rich flavor and tenderness.
1 tbsp baking powder Helps the bread rise nicely.
1 tsp salt Essential for enhancing flavor.
1/2 tsp black pepper For a little kick.
1/2 tsp garlic powder optional, if you love garlic.

Equipment

Loaf Pan
Mixing Bowl
Whisk

Method

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, melted butter, milk, and egg. Mix until well combined.
Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using).
Step 4: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the potato mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
Step 5: Fold in the shredded cheese until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean!
Step 8: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
