Tips:

Use fresh ingredients. Fresh potatoes, flour, and butter will give your bread the best flavor and texture.
Boil the potatoes until they are very soft. This will make them easy to mash and incorporate into the dough.
Mash the potatoes until they are smooth and lump-free. This will help to ensure a light and fluffy bread.
Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to work and produce carbon dioxide, which will make the bread light and airy.
Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the bread cooks evenly.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Make-ahead potato bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. With a little planning, you can have fresh, homemade bread whenever you want it.
