Potato Sour Dough Starter

Be good to your starter by using or replenishing it every 10 days, and it will reward you with baked goods full of tangy sourdough taste. Remember, the older your starter, the heartier the sourdough flavor.
  • 3 Potatoes, diced
  • 8 1/4 Cups Flour
  • 3/4 Cup Sugar
  • 2-pkgs. Dry Yeast
  • 1/4 Cup Oil
  • 3 tsp. Salt
Makes: about 2 1/2 Cups Starter

Directions
Step 1: Cook potatoes in 6 cups unsalted water until tender; drain, reserving 5 cups potato water. Cool water. Use potatoes later for baking bread.
Step 2: To make starter, combine 2 cups flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 cup reserved potato water, and yeast. Cover; let stand in a warm place overnight.
Step 3:Next day stir starter; remove 1 cup. Add 2 tablespoons sugar to 1-cup starter; pour in pint jar. Cover and store in refrigerator until ready to use. To remaining 4 cups of starter add oil, salt and enough flour to make moderately stiff dough. Place in large greased bowl. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Stir down. Divide dough into thirds. Place in a warmed and greased 12" Dutch Oven. Three loaves can be baked in one 12" Dutch Oven. Let rise until nearly doubled. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes at 350 degrees. Use 25 total briquettes only, 10 on the bottom and 15 on top of you Dutch Oven.
Step 4:To use reserved starter, proceed as before, except substitute 1 cup reserved starter for first sup potato water.
