Orange potato bread is a delicious variant of traditional potato bread that has become popular in different regions of Latin America. Its origin dates back to the adaptation of European baking recipes, where local ingredients and citrus flavors are incorporated to give it a special touch. In countries like Mexico and Colombia, it is common to find breads that use mashed potatoes to provide moisture and softness; however, the inclusion of orange gives it a fresh aroma and a slightly sweet flavor that sets it apart.
In some Latin American countries, this type of bread is simply known as "potato bread," "moist bread," or even "potato cake," while the addition of orange may vary depending on the region and family preference. It is an ideal preparation to enjoy for breakfast or a snack, accompanied by butter or jams.
