- ¾ cup raw grated potatoes, peel, grate, and drain any liquid
- 1 egg
- 1 egg white
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- ¾ cup half and half cream
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 ¼ cups flour
- 1 ½ Tablespoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 2 Tablespoons fresh chopped rosemary
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the raw and mashed potatoes. Whisk until combined. Add the egg, egg white, both cheeses, half and half cream, and oil, and mix until completely incorporated.
- In a separate large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt, stir to combine. If you’re adding cayenne pepper (for a kick), add it now.
- Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough is formed. Remove the dough onto a lightly floured flat space (cutting board or counter top) and kneed 6 -7 times.
- Gather the dough up and form a ball, placing it in an oiled 8 inch cast iron pan.
- Using a sharp knife, cut an x on the top of the dough. Brush with butter, and sprinkle with fresh chopped rosemary. Bake for 45-55 minutes, until golden brown on top.
- Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes. Run a butter knife around the edges of the pan, and remove the loaf from the pan.
- Continue to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
