BREAD MADE WITH POTATOES Boil three large potatoes. Mash them while hot, adding a piece of butter half as big as an egg, one teaspoon of sugar, and half a teaspoon of salt. Mash all together perfectly smooth. Take a pint of warm water, half of it pour over the potatoes, moisten a teacup and a half of flour with the other half. Beat the flour batter well to remove all lumps, and add it to the potato batter. Then add half a teacup of yeast, or one-third of a cake of compressed yeast dissolved in half a cup of warm water. Add also half a teaspoon of soda
