Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Peel, chop to about 1” and bring to boil, then simmer, one large russet potato until fork tender.
  2. Steep raisins in hot tap water for 1/2 hour then drain well. This keeps raisins from stealing too much water from the dough and making it dry.
  3. Drain and reserve 1 cup potato water. Mash potato using a potato ricer or masher. Keep 1/3 cup for recipe, reserve rest for another use. A dab of butter and a little cream makes a nice snack of the extra potato to curb the appetite while making this dish.
  4. Place 1/2 cup potato water in large warm bowl. Sprinkle in yeast and a pinch of sugar; stir until dissolved.
  5. Add remaining water, sugar, salt, butter, and 1 cup of each flour and blend well with a wooden spoon.
  6. Stir in eggs, mashed potatoes, raisins, and the remaining flours by handful to make soft dough. Use enough extra all-purpose flour to keep the dough tacky but not sticky while kneading.
  7. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  8. Punch dough down. Remove dough to lightly floured surface; divide in half. Roll each half to 12 x 7-inch rectangle. Beginning at short end of each, roll up tightly as for jelly roll. Pinch seams and ends to seal. Place seam sides down, in 2 greased 8 -1/2 x 4-1/2-inch loaf pans.
  9. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  10. Bake at 350°F for 35 minutes or until done. Remove from pans; let cool on wire rack.
