INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine warm water, yeast and 1/4 cup of the sugar; set aside to
proof. (Proofing is where the yeast grows to prove that it is alive
(bubbling, smelling like beer.) If the yeast is not alive, pitch it
and start again.) Combine the mashed potatoes, warm milk, and salt;
add to yeast mixture. Beat eggs with remaining 1 1/2 cups of the  sugar
until light. Add melted butter and nutmeg. Place flour in a  large
mixing bowl and make a well in the center. Pour in the egg and  yeast
mixture. Gradually work the liquid and flour together until a  sticky
mass is formed. Sprinkle flour on work area, turn the dough  from the
bowl on to the floured area and knead until smooth and  elastic. Return
dough to bowl and allow to double. Butter four  9x5x3inch loaf pans.
Divide dough equally and shape into loaves and  place in pans. Allow
the dough to double again. Preheat oven to 350  degrees. Prepare an egg
wash by beating 1 egg and one half egg shell  of cold water. When
loaves are ready to be baked brush with egg was  and sprinkle a little
sugar. Place in oven and bake for 45 to 60  minutes. When done , the
bread should sound hollow when tapped on  bottom. Remove from oven and
place on racks to cool. (This recipe can  be cut in half.)  Posted to
