Potato Garlic Bread

1Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2Slice the loaf of bread (1) horizontally, without cutting through the bottom crust, creating a pocket for the filling.

3In a bowl, mix the mashed potatoes (2 large) with minced garlic (4 cloves), melted butter (½ cup), chopped parsley (¼ cup), salt, and pepper until well combined.

4Stuff the potato mixture into the bread pocket, ensuring it reaches the edges and is evenly distributed.

5Wrap the bread loaf in aluminum foil, leaving the top exposed, and place it on a baking sheet.

6Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the bread is crispy on the outside and the filling is heated through.

7Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
