Steps:

• Mix 1 Tbs. flour, 1 Tbs. sugar, and yeast in your KitchenAid mixing bowl.
• Add warm water. Stir, and let it rest for about 5 min.
• Once the yeast mixture is looking creamy and bubbly, add the oil, sugar, potatoes, and salt. Stir.
• Add 4 c. of flour and knead on low speed.
• Continue kneading for 4 minutes on speed 2, slowly adding flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
• When finished kneading, the sides of the bowl should be looking fairly clean. Drizzle a bit of oil into the side of the bowl and let the mixer spread the oil to grease the sides.
• Lightly cover the dough with a dish towel, and let it rest to rise for about an hour.
• Grease 2 9x5" loaf pans.
• Punch dough down. Butter your hands and knead the dough for about a minute. Divide the dough in half and shape it into two loaves. Poke the tops with a fork to remove air bubbles.
• Place loaves into greased pans. Cover with a towel and allow them to rise for about 30 minutes, or until they have risen about 1 inch above the pans.
• Preheat your oven to 350°. Bake for 30 - 35 minutes.
• Allow the bread to cool for about 10 minutes, brush the tops with butter, and remove from the pans. Enjoy a delicious slice of warm fresh bread!
• Store in airtight bags. And you can freeze one loaf to keep it fresh.
