Bread Made with Potatoes

Mash some boiled potatoes while hot, adding a little tepid water and an ounce or so of German yeast and some flour. Let this ferment in a warm place for six hours, and place in a pan with flour and a little salt, mixing the whole into a dough. Stand for another three hours to rise, make into loaves and bake as quickly as possible.
