Self-rising flour simplifies the leavening process.

Boil potatoes until tender, about 20 minutes.

Drain and mash the potatoes until smooth.

In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.

In another bowl, mix buttermilk, melted butter, and sugar.

Add the mashed potatoes to the flour mixture.

Pour in the buttermilk mixture and stir until combined.

Knead the dough gently on a floured surface for a few minutes.

Shape the dough into a round loaf.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Place the loaf on a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal.

Cut a cross on top of the loaf for even baking.

Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.

Cool on a wire rack before slicing.
