Roasted Potato and Onion Bread Recipe
August 23rd, 2008 by chuck
It has been awhile since I made a really nice chewy crusted bread. I’ve been trying to make a variety of breads to satisfy everyones tastes. My family was nagging me … well Ok maybe not nagging but asking me to make a good chewy bread for dinner. So, I decided to make this Roasted potato and onion bread. I picked up a delicious red onion and some beautiful BC yellow potatoes from the local market. They have a soft velvety skin on them and I hate having to peel potatoes. So I left the skin on them, I think it adds a lot of flavor. I diced them up and poured on some olive oil and picked some fresh thyme from the garden. Added a little salt and pepper and roasted them till they were golden brown. The house filled with the delicious smells of onions and thyme. A smell to die for and I hadn’t even started the bread yet! That got everyone hanging around the kitchen asking when the bread was going to be done.
This bread is not only a great looking bread, but absolutely delicious and full of flavor. The loaves are not very big so they are perfect for any family meal. The crust is chewy and the inside is a little on the heavy side just the way I like it. The heaviness comes from the potatoes and the whole wheat flour. The toasted cracked wheat adds a little zing to the texture of the bread too.
I hope you will give this bread a try. Your family will love you for it.

This month it’s all about Potatoe Breads, so come and participate in the fun or just check out some of the fantastic potato bread recipes from all over the Internet. I entered this Roasted Potato and Onion Bread.
This is gorgeous! I have to try this, although I’m really a noob when it comes to baking bread. I did try the challah recipe from your site.
Thanks for sharing: your site is definitely very informative.
I just love looking at the various breads you have here.
I like a full-bodied bread and this one definitely fits that category. I can imagine the sandwich possibilities.
Your bread baking skill are so up there. I love drooling over your breads. It’s so true that one starts respecting the bread baker after one’s tried their hand at making bread themselves.
i used to not like onion in bread, but i do now, so yeah…yours looks very very good Chuck! i like the inside of a bread in a heavier side too, it satisfy my carbo-loving body good
Gorgous! Those loaves look and sound incredibly scrumptious! An interesting bread recipe!
Cheers,
Rosa
What can be better than fresh baked bread. This recipe sounds yummy.
OMG I love the flecks of onion in there! Beautiful.
You are absolutely right, that crust is perfect and I’m certain it is delicious! Just gorgeous.
Both crumb and crust look perfect – great job! Thanks for sharing this!
Wow, that interior picture of that bread is exquisite! I like the the little onion piece falling out… I have never made a potato bread, but I don’t think it’s that hard, right? Not any harder than brioche bread, and that was without a mixer… Although I seem to have trouble with getting my bread to double when proofing. Maybe my kitchen temp is too cold?
WOW Chuck! What a great looking loaf of bread! I can smell those onions from here! Thinking about them makes my mouth water! Great photos too!
Send me a loaf, a hunk of cheese and a bottle of red wine to go with that too please.
Boy Chuck, this is one impressive site with lots of wonderful bread to choose from. Bread baking was the norm for me growing up and a lost art in the home. Thanks for be an inspiration to all of us.
Absolutely gorgeous. I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect onion & potato bread and it looks like I’ve found it.
This blog is inspirational
Yep, this is definitely one great-lookin’ bread. I love how you can see the chunks inside the baked bread.
That bread looks amazing. The crust is perfect and the inside looks nice and light and good!
Why are you tempting me to go make bread – any bread?!
That crust and oven spring is ridiculous. Looks perfect.
Looks so good! Inside and out, I love this bread!
Does anyone have the recipe for the Morton’s Steakhouse Onion bread?? It’s absolutely the best table bread I’ve had in a very long time. But, apparently it’s a ‘top-secret’ recipe that Morton’s has local bakeries make for them.
Looks just perfect!
Yum! These are some gorgeous loaves!
Now how did I miss this one!?!
This journey with potato bread has really been incredible. This is just an amazing bread. I’m sure the aromas were terrific even before you got to the bread aroma part
Love this bread!!! Haven’t tried roasted potatoes before, I’d better give this one a try. Thanks!
is it one cup each of potatoes and onions or one cup combined?
