Whole Wheat Potato Bread

1. 1

   Scrub potatoes and boil unpeeled until VERY tender. Measure 3/4 cup of the potato water and pour into your bread mixing bowl. Dissolve the 1 teaspoon sugar into the lukewarm water and stir in dry yeast in another bowl. Let set. Break eggs into small bowl and beat lightly. Peel potatoes and mash in the 3/4 cup potato water. Stir in 1/2 cup sugar, the shortening and salt. Blend well. Add the dissolved yeast, then the 4 eggs. Blend thoroughly. Beat in the flour a little at a time. Dough will be stiff. Knead for 10 minutes. Cover and let rise 90 minutes until doubled. Grease 3 standard loaf pans. Punch dough down and knead again for 5 more minutes. Divide into 3 parts. Shape into loaves and let rise in pans for another hour.
