Directions:
FOR FOUR LOAVES OF BREAD.--Peel five good-sized potatoes; boil until soft, and mash through a colander; then two tablespoonfuls of sugar, one of salt; and five pints of water. When about cold, add one-half medium-sized cakes of yeast, which have been well soaked. Let this stand in a warm place twenty-four hours. In the morning, mix stiff; knead well; let it rise until light; mold into loaves, and when raised again, bake in a moderately hot oven one hour.
