=1 cupful mashed potatoes= =3 cupfuls lukewarm water= =yeast cake= =1 tablespoonful salt= =3 tablespoonfuls sugar= =½ teaspoonful ginger= Peel and boil old potatoes, put through a colander, mix with the other ingredients with the yeast dissolved in a little warm water. Add the ginger the first time in starting the yeast, but not again. Let this mixture stand for three days before using. When you make bread, repeat the formula, omitting the yeast and ginger, add the ingredients to the first mixture and let stand over night. In the morning, stir it thoroughly, take out a pint to start your next yeast, sift the flour with the remainder, knead and put into pans. By noon the bread may be baked. This makes three loaves. Keep the yeast in a tight jar, and it will keep for about ten days in warm weather.
