-NORMA WRENN (NPXR56B)
1 pk Dry yeast
4 c -warm water
2 tb Sugar
4 c Flour
1 Potato -- raw quartered

Here is a recipe from Texas Highways Cookbook.

Dissolve yeast in warm water; and then mix all
ingredients in a 1-gallon crock. (Do not use metal
container) Cover with a close-fitting lid and let the
starter rise until light (12 hours in warm weather,
longer in cool weather). Do not let the starter get
cold, ever. After using part of the starter, add 1 cup
warm water, 2 teaspoons sugar, and enough flour to mix
to the starter's original consistency. Add more
potato occasionally as food for the yeast, but don't
add more yeast. Use daily for best results. Starter
improves with age. I am sure you will get some posts
for flake starters. I do not have one.
