BREADS - WARM AND COLD
POTATO YEAST
Take 2 medium-sized potatoes and grate them; take a small pinch of hops -peachtree leaves will do- and boil in a quart of water; strain, and add 1 tablespoonful each of salt and sugar. Let it come to a boil, then stir in the grated potatoes. When cool, add a little good yeast; set it away until it rises, then it is ready for use. Keep in a cool place. One teacupful of the yeast is enough to make 10 or 12 loaves of bread.
