Tips:

Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the bread will taste. This is especially true for the potatoes and butter.
Boil the potatoes until they are very soft: This will make them easy to mash and will help the bread to be light and fluffy.
Mash the potatoes until they are very smooth: This will help the bread to be smooth and细腻.
Use a stand mixer or a hand mixer to mix the dough: This will make it easier to mix the dough and will help to develop the gluten in the flour, which will make the bread more chewy.
Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the dough to rise and become light and fluffy.
Bake the bread at a high temperature: This will help the bread to brown and crusty.

Conclusion:

Amish potato bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover potatoes and it is a delicious addition to any meal.
