1 medium size potato
1 quart of water
2 tablespoons butter
3 teaspoons salt
2 packages dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup warm water
11 to 12 cups all-purpose flour

Cook the diced, peeled potato in the quart of water until tender
Drain the potato, reserving the water
Mash the potato until there are no lumps
Add the mashed potato to the reserved water and stir in the butter and salt
Let mixture cool until lukewarm

Gradually add 6 cups of flour to the potato water, beating it until it is smooth
Mix in the dissolved yeast and sugar mixture
Mix thoroughly
Cover and let the dough rise in a warm place for 2 hours
Work in enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough
On a flat surface, knead the dough until it is smooth and satiny
Place the dough into a greased bowl and lightly grease the top of the dough
Cover and let the dough rise until double in size
Punch dough down and divide into 3 loaves
Place each loaf in a greased bread pan
