How to Make Gluten Free Potato Bread (Overview)

Making Gluten Free Potato Bread is as easy as pie (well, bread)! Start by mashing your potatoes—the creamier the better. While those potatoes are chilling in a bowl with milk and oil, get your dry ingredients ready in another bowl. Mix them together until your dough comes to life. Let it rise like a champion for 30 minutes, and then bake it to golden perfection. Pro tip? Don’t skip the rising time; it makes the bread fluffy!

How to Serve Gluten Free Potato Bread

Once out of the oven, this bread isn’t just a sidekick; it’s a star! You can slice it for sandwiches or serve it warm with a dollop of butter and herbs on top. Imagine the golden crust meeting the soft, fluffy interior. Pair it with homemade soups or a fresh salad for a truly delightful meal.

Tips to Make Gluten Free Potato Bread

• Swap the flour: If you’re out of gluten-free flour, almond or coconut flour can also work—experiment a bit!

• Mix it up: Want a herby flavor? Toss in some dried rosemary or thyme for an aromatic twist.
