Instructions:
1. Activate the Yeast: In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
2. Prepare the Dough: Add the mashed potatoes, sugar, vegetable oil, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix well.
3. Incorporate the Flour: Gradually add the bread flour, one cup at a time, until the dough is smooth and stretchy.
4. Knead the Dough: On a floured surface, knead the dough for about five minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
5. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size.
6. Shape the Dough: Punch down the dough and form it into loaves. Place the loaves in greased bread pans and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
7. Bake the Bread: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake the loaves for 30-35 minutes, or until the bottoms sound hollow when tapped and the crust is golden brown.
8. Cool and Serve: Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool before slicing and serving.
