Plain Buns (Potato Yeast)

Boil 2 medium sized potatoes. When done, put through a colander into a crock containing 2 cups white sugar and 1 tablespoon lard. Add enough water to make about 1 pint of mixture, 1 small cup homemade yeast and enough Five Roses flour to make a batter but not too stiff. Add 1 good teaspoon salt. Care must be taken taken not to have the mixture too hot before adding the yeast. Set in warm place to rise. When nice and light, emply into your bread pan and add 1 pint of warm water and enough Five Roses flour to make a soft dough, but mix until it will not stick to the hands. Let stand until light. Make up into the pans and let get very light before baking.
