Grate the russet potatoes and add them into a bowl.

Top the grated potatoes with hot water and set aside for 5 minutes.

In a separate bowl, stir together the yeast, flour, and salt.

Add the grated potato and an egg to the dry ingredients.

Mix to form a dough, using your hands if necessary; no kneading is required.

Cover the bowl and set aside for 30 minutes to rise.

Preheat the oven while the dough is rising.

Invert the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it.

Place the shaped dough into a loaf tin or shape it rustic-style.

Place a separate tray of boiling water on the bottom shelf of the oven to create steam.

Bake the loaf in the oven until golden and crusty, then let it cool fully.
