De la Mihaela m-am inspirat pentru aceasta paine, avand de cand ma stiu o fascinatie obscura pentru painea cu cartofi. Intr-adevar aroma este deosebita, este o paine densa, grea, gustoasa. Aproape ca nici nu mai conteaza ce gatesti, atata vreme cat poti sa mananci o felie din aceasta paine.

Ingrediente:
1/2 cana de lapte
1/2 cana din apa in care au fiert cartofii
1/2 cana de piure de cartofi (cartofii zdrobiti)
3 linguri de unt
1 lingurita de zahar
1 1/2 lingurita de sare
3 cani si 1/2 de faina alba
2 pliculete drojdie uscata

Ca la alte paini prezentate aici, framantati painea si lasati sa creasca aluatul 30 minute intr-un loc caldut si ferit de curent. Aluatul crescut il framantati din nou in forma dorita si il asezati in tava. Il lasati sa mai creasca 15 minute si il dati la cuptorul deja incalzit.

Country potato bread
I always loved the idea of potato bread, although the market versions never seemed to have the flavour I remembered from my childhood. This is why I decided to make my own potato bread. And I must confess it is as delicious as I remember.
The potato bread is heavy, with a strong flavour. It almost doesn’t matter what you are cooking, as long as you can eat it with a slice of this bread.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup of milk
1/2 cup from the water in wich the potatoes have boiled
1/2 cup of smashed potatoes
3 tbl butter
1 teaspoon of sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon of salt
3 1/2 cups of white flour
2 packs of dry yeast
