Two golden round loaves with tender texture and a hint of sweetness is what you'll get when you try my mother-in-law's recipe. The blend of potato, nutmeg and lemon is unusually good for a yeast bread.

This recipe is not worth your time. The bread is bland and tasteless.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bread didn't turn out right. It was too dry and crumbly.

This bread is a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor is good.

I'm not a huge fan of potato bread, but this recipe is really good. The bread is light and airy, and has a nice crust.

Just made this bread and it turned out perfectly! I used a stand mixer to make the dough, which made it really easy. The bread is so soft and fluffy, and has a great flavor. I can't wait to try it toasted with some butter and jam.

This potato yeast bread was a delightful surprise! I've never used potato in bread before, but it added a subtle sweetness and moistness that I loved. The crust was crispy and the crumb was soft and fluffy. I'll definitely be making this again!
