Irish potato bread is a recipe that does not require the time investment of a traditional risen loaf. Since it is made without yeast, there is no need to let the dough rise or to knead it multiple times. Potato bread has a crunchy crust on the outside while staying fluffy and moist on the inside. Introduced to America by Irish immigrants, potato bread can be found in many US bakeries today and is especially popular in Irish American communities
