Combine Potato Water with Milk and add mixture with dissolved yeast
Blend in 6cups of sugar with mixture
Place in greased container and let rise until doubled in size

This was written exactly as my grandmother did, she inherited the recipe in the 1950's .
You would think this is like a potato roll but in reality it reminds you of a really good yeast roll and I was shocked to learn about the potato when I inherited it in 2008
