It’s rather surprising that a recipe for Potato Bread hasn’t yet been featured here. I’ve longbeen a proponent这种节俭的根菜,这是一个真正的inexcusable oversight. Indeed, the entire concept is one that is incredibly appealing; it’s clear that this is one loaf of bread that is going to possess flavour in prodigious quantity, in addition to a moist, pleasurable texture. Happily, this is one recipe that doesn’t disappoint, not that my recipes tend to do so, and is the perfect accompaniment to any soup or casserole.
Potato really ought to be more frequently used in baking, since it can easily bestow the moisture craved by the majority of the baking community, whilst allowing one to maintain a certain frugality. Indeed, it has rather impressive applications in cake baking – a rather intriguing prospect, I’m sure. Potato also happens to be an exceptional vehicle for flavour, a trait shared by most basic sources of carbohydrates. However, it also has a characteristic that succeeds in placing it, in my opinion, far above its counterparts – it can be at once both innocuous and integral to the flavour of one’s culinary creation.
Now, it must be admitted that the delightful Delia had asignificant handin the formulation of the recipe you see before you. Of course, the recipe hasn’t been ripped off, but no one wants this to develop into an awkward case of blatant plagiarism. So thank you, Delia – though your savoury dishes may fail to ignite my desire, your baking certainly succeeds in doing so!
Whatever the source of this recipe, ultimately it is one that can be enjoyed by all. Alas, I have one more admission to make –Katherineproduced this exquisite example of bread making, not I! There simply wasn’t enough time in that particular day… there never is. One could say thattime can be rather frugal.
Cheese and Red Onion Potato Bread
Makes 1 loaf
Ingredients:
• 185g potato
• 160g self-raising flour
• 40g rye flour
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp milk
• ½ small red onion, diced
• 2 spring onions, finely sliced
• 60g mature cheddar, cubed
• 2 tbsp parsley
• 1 heaped tsp chilli flakes
• 1 tsp salt
• Pepper
Method:
1. Put the flours, salt, chilli flakes and a twist of black pepper into a large mixing bowl. Peel and grate the potato into the flour mixture. Add the onions, parsley and the cheese. Preheat the oven to190C.
2. Beat the egg and the milk together and pour it into the flour and potato mixture. Bring it all together to form a rough dough. Transfer it to a floured baking sheet and pat into a loaf 6 inches in diameter. Dust with a little extra rye flour.
3. Bake the bread for45-50 minutes, until golden brown. When done transfer to a cooling rack and eat when still warm – though it is fine to eat for the next two days.
Cost:I’m going to come right out and say it… this loaf should set one back no more than£1.20. Potato truly is the embodiment of the word frugality, is it not?

This looks amazing!
Thanks! It was fantastic
Mmmm, This looks so good! I’ll definitely give this recipe a try
Please do – it really was delicious.
I am going to try this today, being Russian I am obsessed with potatoes
Thanks for sharing!
Particularly when it comes to the production of vodka?
Haha what? I actually made this last week, and it was super good! More like a pie even and not bread!
Fantastic! It’s definitely bread
I love potato breads! What a stunner – I hope Katherine has received plenty of her due praise!
Thanks, Juls – aren’t they just amazing?! She has
delicious
IT was, it really was.
great recipe! i will try it.
Please do – utterly mouth watering.
a beautiful loaf mate looks lovely and moist
cheers
marcus
Thanks, Marcus
That looks terrific! I’m wondering if some slices fried in the bacon fat while you are cooking breakfast might make a nice addition to one’s plate?
Thanks! Yes, I suppose so, but it’s entirely unnecessary.
Reblogged this onthesurvivalplaceblog.
Thanks!
Great recipe, looks good!
Thanks! Why not give it a go?
it looks delicious, never knew you could make bread out of potatoes…. I presume it is rather filling? what would you have it with?
Thanks! Oh, you can make anything out of potatoes! Yes, very filling – served with either soup or butter… or both.
Even the gratuitous raw ingredients shot looks tasty :). Kudos to Katherine…that looks like rustic frugal loafy goodness to accompany a delicious hearty soup to me…well at least that is what I am going to use it for. Potatoes are wonderful and we use them all the time. They are dirt cheap here at $6.95 (4 pounds 54p) a 10kg sack but Tasmania does grow a plethora of spuds as we have a similar temperate range to good old blighty. My favourites are kipflers and pinkeyes (both sound like painful diseases ).
Haha – it is a must, an essential part of the blog mechanism. She did very well :D. I;ve actually never made this loaf myself! I think they are cheap everywhere, but that is VERY cheap!
Something VERY cheap that tastes that good is to be treasured! Placed reverently in the special folder where you go to time and again for simple sustenance when the real world has scooted you a bit further along in your day than you realise.
OH, indeed! I’m happy that my recipes are revered!
Looks delicious!
Thanks – it very much was.
An amazing looking loaf. Kathryn indeed needs our praise. It is slightly problematical for me to read your posts half an hour before dinner.
Best,
Conor
Thanks, Conor! Indeed, Katherine* does :D. You should save yourself for after
My sincere apologies to you and Katherine. I have a friend who spells it the other way and was not paying as much attention as I should.
Haha – thanks, Conor! We don’t mind really
You are too kind. My surname “Bofin” is very unusual and I am used to people getting it wrong. I often find myself saying “Call me anything you like, just don’t call me too early in the morning.” or such like. Though, somewhere deep down, it irks.
How do you pronounce it? Is its etymology French?
Bow Fin. We used to believe that we arrived from France in 1798 with General Humbert and his invading force. My genealogist wife researched my ancestors and discovered some evidence of living in mud huts in Co. Leitrim at least two generations before Humbert arrived. The best I can hope to claim is being related to Brian Boru (We all claim to be related to Brian Boru over here.)
Very interesting! I’d never heard of Brian Boru – I shall read up on him.
Holy Yum! I am not much of a baker, and have only made bread once… But I need to make this, it sounds and looks divine!
Oh you should start making more – bread baking is so fun
I love potato bread but I usually make it from left over mashed potato so I was very interested to see your recipe!
That’s not a bad idea – I’ll have to give it a go.
This sounds and looks great. Yes – will make this!
Please do! You’ll love it.
This looks so moist! I have to make this for Christmas!
Thanks! That’s a great idea!
oh wow!! Awesome looking bread!!!
Thanks – it was so delicious!
I’m sure the bread is tasty. The chopping board is special too!!
Thanks! I do love that board
Potatoes, cheese and onions.. all of my favourites in a bread! perfick. Thank you and thank Katherine too.. have a lovely day.. c
Haha – thanks – mine too You too, Celi!
Love the pic of the cheese and veg!
Me too, Rosemary
yum, great photos!
Thanks! I do try
Sound good!
Thanks so much
I am so psyched to try this! I am always on the look out for yeast free breads – I can’t have yeast, shame, I know. And add to that, I’m always on the lookout for cost effective ways to eat well. Eating well does not have to equal LOTS of money; it can of course, as with anything, but it’s really not necessary. Plus, I love potatoes and cheese!
Please do! I’ll have to do more yeast free bread… so simple! I’m glad you like it and my ethos so much
This looks sensational! Every single ingredient in the bread is delicious. The aroma inside your house while the bread was baking had to be wonderful! Well done my friend!
Thanks so much :). Oh yes, it was and we baked it twice
Beautiful! I love the flavors here. Looks like a successful joint effort.
Thanks! Yes, very successful!
Want to eat that NOW!
You’d better get baking then, Jacqueline
More good food from you. I haven’t had a chance to make your last dish yet.
Thanks! You need to catch up
That bread looks so good. I love cheese, onion and potato, I’m going to have to give that recipe a go!
Thanks! It really was delicious.
Will be making this for dinner tonight! Thanks.
Fantastic! I hope you like it.
It was lovely! More bread-like than I imagined and so easy to make. Thanks.
Thanks! Yes, it is bread like, but very dense in a pleasant way.
Yum! I want to eat this right now!
You should make some
*Clap, clap* because this is SO amazing! It looks fantastic! I would definitely attack the corner first! Poor corner not even featured in the photo!
Yessss, a clap :D. Haha – I’m cornerist.
Looks awesome!
Thanks – it was!
Maaaaaaan, for two bucks that is an absolute steal! And delicious
Haha – exactly
I plan to try this today… to eat with lovely pea soup.
I hope you like it! We had it with pea soup
Oh wow, this looks yummy! Adding it to my recipe collection — thank you for sharing!
Thanks, Stephanie! I hope you like!
Yum! I love baking with potatoes. This looks like pure comfort food.
Oh it was, it really was.
My Dad liked the potato bread from the local bakery when I was growing up, but it was nothing like this! It just looked like another white loaf to me. Now this is what I call potato bread, and then some!
I always feel potato bread should be very dense and moist! It was really spectacular
Yum! i think I need to go make some potato bread now!
I think so too
Wow, that is just glorious….I have never seen potato bread like this!
Thanks! IT was gorgeous!
I have to try this! I have such bad kneading skills I almost gave up making bread at one time.. This may just bring my confidence back!
Yes, do! Give it a go, no kneading needed here!
I have to make this recipe. Thanks for the post.
You must No problem!
Potatoes.. yes they are the ultimate in frugal, Frugal:) But now with two of you baking, will it be frugal i and frugal ii? ps Congrats on 3,000!! Wow!!
They really, really are! Haha – she’s not allowed to do too much :D. Thanks!
This bread looks amazing….I AM HUNGRY …Thanx,
Thanks! It was great!
That bread looks beautiful dense and full of flavour – I’ve not made potato bread for ages, need to rectify that!
It really was bloody delicious, Kate!
[…]喂养与美味的食谱启发了我for a while now, and for lunch today I made his version of Cheese and Onion Potato Bread. I paired it with a salad and a very happy husband. It was a great success and I will make it […]
I made it and I loved it. So did Husband!http://ahouseandagarden.wordpress.com/2012/11/13/cheese-and-onion-potato-bread/
I thought it looked great!
Looks fantastic. Katherine did a great job!
She did indeed, Daisy! thanks!
Good on Katherine! This looks really delicious. I need more quick breads in my repertoire, one doesn’t always have time to wait for bread to rise…
Indeed, she’s done a great job! Exactly… I’ll have to do more.
Oh this looks amazing! I’ve had a craving to make creative breads lately since I’ve never tried it but my oven has been broken. Soon!
OH no! I wish your oven well!
I love making bread and absolutely love the look of this. Great recipe and the photo is fabulous.
Thanks so much! It was really yummy.
I wish I’d had time to make this to go with my french onion soup now..
next time..
There’s always a next time
I like it that this recipe doesn’t use yeast.
In this case, yeast would spoil it!
This looks delicious! If I’m able to modify it in such a way that it is vegan and allergy friendly, do you mind if I post the modified recipe on Cooking With Food Allergies? I’d like to do this with several of your recipes, crediting you for the original recipe of course. Cheers!

Thanks! Go ahead, link me though :D.
我太激动了to try this!!! I usually get cheese and onion potato bread from the bakery and pay 8 bucks a loaf!!! WAHOOO!!
Blimey… that’s a lot. Do try this, it’s delicious.
Oh, I have to try this! Looks so moist and flavourfull!
Please do – it is exactly those things!
Pass the butter, I’m ready to dig in. This looks delicious – Yum!

i tried it with plain flour and yeast because i dint have self-rising flour. dint rise or anything! bad yeast i guess. luckily it was a portion. made indian style-paranthas outta the rest. not bad!
This looks amazing and wonderful job on your photos! Now, I just need someone to cook some for me!
Don’t be lazy! It’s very simple!
Thanks, Seth! It’s easy! Do it yourself, lazy!
It’s not being lazy! It’s just not being very good at it!
Haha! Excuses!
What is this be mean to the fat bear hungry guy day? LOL I suppose I could try.
Haha! You should!

Made this bread tonight, everyone loved it, and it looked just like the photo. I’m glad St Delia had some imput as she is one of my favourite cooks. Love the blog, love the recipes.
Great stuff! She’s great (most of the time)
Hey there I started wondering if this recipe freezes well (I’m guessing it should)? And would it be better to freeze the raw dough or the finished bread? Then if we freeze the finished bread what’s the best way to bring it back alive.. It would be so good for those extra lazy days..
OH yes, very well! Freeze the finished article – not the dough!
Awesome! Thx!
With all the bread I ‘ve baked , never have a used potato like this recipe. Now not for long !
looks reallllllly good
I have to make this!
