I have tried may starters before and they never really produced well. I used INSTANT yeast and this starter was ready to go in 24 hours! I have recipe #13716 rising in my kitchen right now and it looks great. I did however cut the recipe (13716) into 1/4 to make 1 loaf. I think my past starters didn't produce well because I was using recipes for sourdough that called for additional yeast. This made them rise to much and the bread structure broke down after second rise. So it was probably not the starters at all but the additional yeast. Never the less, this starter kick's butt and is ready to rock and roll FAST! Thank you for this recipe. By the way...Potato water refers to the water that is left over after boiling them to fork tender. The more potatoes the stronger the potato water!! And that is good!
