Sitting here waiting for my potatoes to cook now. I added two dates and some raisins in my cut potato. I really appreciate this tip. Back in COVID we couldn’t find any in stores. I don’t want to be caught like that again. Looking forward to trying it. Thanks a bunch!

[laurapfeifer]

You are so cool, I love your hair and glasses. You are my kind of gal, one that knows how to do things and self-reliant. I am glad to find this channel, as I grew up in small village in NE. I miss the way of life and the cool people. So enjoy you, you take me back to my childhood, thanks.

I am definitely going to try this. Seems I have tried a million sourdough recipes, so I can’t let this one slip by me. Chances are it’ll be the best yet.

Thank you! You're very clear and simply to follow! Great job!

[wyattoneable]

I sometimes wonder who came up with receipts like this. Way back in the day some person experimented or found this by accident. This is a great video for preppers. :)

[shortgiraffe]

[donnagoebel]

Thank you soooo much, I'm guessing you're a prepper, so smart to be self reliant as we can't depend on our Government anymore. I'm trying to learn all I can. My mother had an old civil war cookbook, wish I had it. I'm trying this tomorrow. You're

Hello from Mississippi! Enjoyed your video very much

[imkadosh]

Dear Helga, I am becoming smarter in doing the search for yeast starter here in youtube. I clicked in your video not knowing what I was getting into. And it happened by chance that I needed this info--your potato yeast starter. I put the search Potato Yeast Started and your video showed up, but the title does not say it is potato starter. Your information is very important, especially because it is from the Canadian Growers Association. It gives a sense of trust, assuredness, when you mention where you got the recipe from. Thank you very much for posting this video. If in the title you mention "potato" would be a lot of help.

[sethrogers]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🍺👍

Thanks for the information, I am boiling a potato as I write this reply and plan to use it for the Starter.
