There's just nothing like potato to give bread soft, moist, creamy texture; the starch in the potato attracts and holds liquid, meaning breads baked with potato will not only be soft and moist initially, but will stay that way longer. James Beard's classic Beard on Bread, contains a recipe for Sour Cream Bread that's the nominal inspiration for this loaf. We took it a few steps further by adding potato and chives — the natural accompaniments for sour cream!
