Potato Bread

By Rumblingtummy @RumblingTummi
I needed to clear off potatoes and remembering ensaymadas incorporate potato to make it soft, and then I saw this Potato bread recipe that uses pretty good amount of potatoes.
Potato Bread
Just the perfect time to experiment with this recipe!
Potato Bread
Findings: The dough is sticky and I am glad that I uses the Thermomix to knead and dusting my hands with flour, I was able to shape into a ball before first proof.
I achieved a total weight of 1044g and divide into 25 pcs (42g) to fit into my 10X10" pan.
I shall reduce the custard cream by half as it was way too much for this recipe.  Also I will not use the TM to make this as it turned out rather watery.  I shall use the pot to cook down instead for future attempt.
Overall, I must say this recipe turned out really soft and fluffy.  It stays soft even after 3 days.

200g potatoes
