Switching it up for St. Patrick's Day! I've already made Irish soda bread and Scottish soda bread, so I didn't want to do any more soda breads. I was just looking through the book and came to this bread in the potato bread section. I've made a few potato breads so far, and from what I can tell they all use mashed potatoes and the potato water. This one has an awesome twist of using currants/raisins in it. My mom wasn't a big fan of this when I told her, but I'm always a fan of currants/raisins in bread. I'm super pumped how this bread turned out. It's so light and fluffy, jam packed with flavor, and looks beautiful. It's got the softness of your typical potato bread, but the raisins add a hint of sweetness that is just perfect.
It's hard to stop eating slices of this bread because they just melt in your mouth. I was tempted to halve the recipe, but I'm sure glad I didn't. I can't say it enough but this bread is amazing. I'm really into corn breads right now, but making bread like this just gets me even more excited to move on to the next great section. All in all I'm really happy how this turned out and I may make soda bread next year or I'll just make more loaves of this!
