Unfortunately, even with the straining and drying, the boiled potatoes retained a fair amount of moisture, so it was less "grating" and more "extruding".<br /><br />I wouldn't say the effort made much if any difference to taste or texture. I suspect "using up leftovers" or "potatoes are cheaper than white flour" might be the reasoning behind this one.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12118868244845624977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212809515851754648.post-25341506376205714992016-02-11T18:32:25.087-08:002016-02-11T18:32:25.087-08:00Om nom nom.

My recipe also used riced potatoes, and I found that baked potatoes allowed themselves to get pushed through my strainer pretty easily. I opted for the mesh strainer over my colander, as my colander has very few holes. But with them being baked, I was able to basically rub the inside of the skin along the mesh to get all the flesh out, and it was pretty dry and behaved well.<br /><br />But grating you say? Hmmmmm. New ways to work with potatoes are always useful!<br /><br />Would you say the work into make potato bread made it worth while? Or does it seem more like the "huh I have extra potato... let's throw it in bread dough so it doesn't go to waste" kind of cooking?<br /><br />-- TeganTeganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15174485685438721780noreply@blogger.com
