Prepare the pre-dough by mixing the three ingredients until obtaining a smooth dough. Leave to rest until tripled in size.

Knead the fermented dough in a planetary mixer with the hook and mix with the flour and half of the eggs, lemon and orange zest, salt and the boiled mashed potatoes. Then add sugar and the remaining eggs, and continue to knead.
