A potato-based starter is a traditional way to capture wild yeast and keep a natural leaven going for years. Made from simple ingredients like potato and water (often with a little flour or sugar to feed it), it ferments into an active starter that can raise bread again and again, kept alive with regular feeding.

This video covers how to make a potato starter, how it captures wild yeast to leaven bread, and how to keep it going long-term with simple feeding.
