Here is the starter reciope,,,,
Sourdough Starter
2 cups warm water
3 cups flour
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. sugar
1 envelope yeast
1 1/2 cups grated, raw potatoes
Mix the warm water with the flour, salt, sugar, yeast and grated potatoes and
blend well. Pour into a fairly large container made of glass or, better still,
an earthenware bowl. Do not use plastic or metal.
Put the bowl in a warm place for 24 hours, uncovered. Then stir down well, cover
with a sheet of plastic and let stand in a warm place for 3 to 4 more days. Stir
a couple of times each day.
The starter should now look a bit foamy and start to smell. Pour it into a glass
jar with a lid and store in the refrigerator.
You can begin to use the starter when a layer of clear liquid appears on top.
The night before you want to bake, take the starter out of the refrigerator,
pour it into a bowl (not plastic or metal) and stir in 1 1/2 cups flour and 1
1/2 cups cold water. Stir until well blended and smooth, cover with a piece of
plastic and set in a warm place overnight.
The next morning stir the starter again and pour off 2 cups into your glass jar.
Put this back into the refrigerator for next time. The remaining 2 cups of
starter are what you will use for your immediate baking.

I used to make this but I have lost the recipe for the starter. I would like to have it again with a recipe for loaves and rolls if anyone has one Thanks so much.
