Sourdough Starter

Directions

1. 1
   Dissolve yeast in warm water, then mix all ingredients in a 1-gallon crock or other nonmetallic container.
2. 2
   Cover with a close fitting lid and let starter rise until light and bubbly on top (12 hours in warm weather, longer in cool weather). Never let starter get cold.
3. 3
   After each time you use starter, add 1 cup warm water, 2 teaspoons sugar and enough flour to return the starter to its original consistency.
4. 4
   Add more potato as food for the yeast (when original potato is used up), but don't add yeast.
