Boil potatoes in lightly salted water and reserve 1 cup of the hot potato water.

Add a pinch of salt and a tiny pinch of sugar to the potato water in a bowl.

Add about 1/2 to 1 cup of flour to the potato water to create a slurry.

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it sit overnight.

The next morning, activate 1 and 1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast in about 1/4 cup of tepid water with a sprinkle of sugar for 5 minutes until bubbly.

Combine the activated yeast with the potato mixture, add a generous teaspoon of salt, and 1 to 2 teaspoons of oil.

Stir in about 1 and 1/2 cups of flour gradually until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until it is not sticky and has a nice bounce back.

Let the dough rest for 2 minutes, then knead again briefly.

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise until doubled.
