Submitted by Paddyscake on February 12, 2006 - 7:10pm Potato Sourdough Starter HelpI had posted a question in regards to this sourdough starter. My first batch of bread was awesome, great tang. The bread I baked subsequently just didn't have the zip. I was asked to share the recipe so here it is. Maybe someone has tried this type of starter before? I was wondering if I should add some more potato from time to time? In a 2 c measure mix together water, flour, salt & sugar. Add potato sufficient enough to make a full 2 cups. Pour mixture into a 1 quart widemouth jar. Place a cheesecloth over the container and allow to set in a warm place for 24 hours. Stir and cover with plastic wrap. The mixture will become light and foamy in 2-3 days. Stir down each day. Pour the fermented starter into a glass jar fitted with a tight lid and place in fridge. In 2-3 days when the hooch collects on top it is ripened enough to use. It smells like blue cheese (well to me anyway)..really pungent..but the bread was great!
