Note

This starter is not a finished product; it should be used immediately in a bread recipe that calls for a potato dough base.

Ensure the water is warm (about 105-110ðF) to help dissolve the sugar and salt, but not hot enough to cook the potato.

For best results, use a russet or baking potato which has a higher starch content, contributing to a lighter crumb.

If the starter sits for more than 30 minutes, the potato may oxidize and turn slightly brown; this is harmless but affects appearance.
