What makes a potato bread - this bread - so good?
Potato flour adds a mild, tangy flavor to bread, almost like sourdough. This bread mix is not intensely flavored like San Francisco sourdough--more like the gentle sour taste of European country breads.
Potato flour doesn't form gluten like wheat flour does. So it has a finer texture, a polished more sophisticated crumb without the large holes of most homemade breads.
Potato flour keeps the bread moist and soft. It's called hygroscopic--it draws moisture from the air rather than drying out as pure wheat bread does. It's still predominately wheat flour, and it will dry out, but it stays moist and soft longer.

"Phenomenally Good! I can't even describe how good this was—alone, heated with butter, as a sandwich bread -- just perfect all around." K
