Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 Cake or envelope of dry
-yeast
4 c Warm water
2 tb Sugar
4 c Flour
1 Raw potato, quartered

Dissolve yeast in warm water, and then mix all
ingredients in a one gallon crock. (Do not use a 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 one
cup warm water, two 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.
