 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1       pk           Active dry yeast
    1/2   c            Warm potato water
    1/2   c            Milk
    1/2   c            Butter or margarine
  1       c            Sourdough Starter
    1/4   c            Sugar
  2       ts           Salt
  4 1/2   c            To 5 all-purpose flour
                       Butter -- melted (opt)

 Dissolve yeast in potato water; let set until foamy, 5
 to 10 min. Heat milk and 1/2 c butter or margarine
 until just melted; cool to lukewarm. Combine starter,
 yeast mixture, milk mixture, sugar and salt. Add flour
 to make a stiff dough; knead until smooth and elastic.
 Place in a greased bowl; turn dough to coat surface.
 Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts,
 until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch down dough; cover
 and let rest 10 minutes.  Shape into rolls. Place on a
 greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise in a warm
 place, free from from drafts, until doubled, about 45
 minutes. If desired, brush with melted butter or
 margarine before baking in a preheated 375F oven for
 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 3 to 4
 dozen.

 Notes: I skipped the last optional butter step and
 used plain warm water and they turned out well but did
 not rise too much.  Take it for what it's worth.
