3 medium potatoes
2 tbsp. cornmeal
1 tsp. sugar
4 c. boiling water
2 c. lukewarm milk
1 c. water
1/8 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. melted shortening

Peel and slice potatoes. Add cornmeal, sugar, salt and boiling water. Wrap mixture in a heavy cloth. Cover and allow to stand in a warm place overnight. Remove potatoes. Add milk, water, soda, salt and shortening. Add enough flour to make dough stiff enough to knead until smooth and elastic. Form dough into 3 loaves. Place in well-greased pans. Cover and let rise until doubled.

Bake in preheated oven at 400°F until done.
