Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and let sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed potatoes, flour, sugar, and salt.

Add butter, milk, and eggs to the potato mixture and mix until combined.

Pour in the yeast mixture and stir until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf.

Place the loaf in a greased baking pan and let it rise again for about 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.

Remove from oven and let cool before slicing.
