I was recently given a 20-yr-old starter. However, it is a "potato flake starter." The instructions my neighbor gave me with the starter say to feed it potato flakes, sugar, and warm water. Do you know if I can start feeding the starter AP flour and warm water instead as is done with traditional sourdough starters? Or do I need to start over from scratch and create my own starter using wheat flour? Whichever starter you have, you'll want to follow the directions (and ingredients) given with it for maintenance and therefore best activity. We do have recipes for starters on our website. Happy Sourdough Baking! Irene@KAF If you don't mind experimenting and possibly losing your neighbor's gift, try feeding it with flour and water; I have a feeling it'll work, though no guarantees...
