Rustic Potato Loaves
I loved these Rustic Potato Loaves. I kept the skins on my potatoes. They provided lovely specs of color throughout the loaves. The crust was thick and beautiful and the inside moist and soft. The seam ripping open added to the beautiful rustic look.

I did use the suggested parchment paper and am glad I did. They came off the pan pretty easily, but I could see a gooey, chocolate mess if I did not use parchment.
Everyone who tried these cookies loved them, so they could make it into my rotation again. Or, I may just add instant coffee or espresso to one of my other favorite cookie recipes: Hazelnut Chocolate Chunk Cookies with Hazelnuts. A very similar recipe, but a tad bit more flour, and a bit less chocolate.
To get the recipe check out the book Baking with Julia, by Dorie Greenspan.

A sweet, braided bread has been on my holiday baking list for years, but I never get around to making one. The Tuesdays with Dorie baking group is an excellent motivator for finally making braided bread for the holidays. Braided breads just look so festive!
