What should I bake?
Last night my husband and I made a faux-Thanksgiving meal (turkeys were on sale). We made stuffing from homemade-bread crutons. (Yes!) Anyway, I saved the potato water from when I prepared mashed potatoes, because I remembered it being called for in some bread recipes. Here's my question -- given that I have potato water and lots of fresh thyme, what can I bake with them? I also have a functioning sourdough starter (I've baked with it once!), and a modest assortment of kitchen staples. (All-purpose flour, bread flour, whole what flour; commercial yeast; corn meal; chocolate chips; butter, sugar, milk...)
I'll take pictures and make a blog report on whatever I bake. :-)

some herbed SD potato bread?
Indeed... I have potatoes and potato water, but no potato flakes or potato flour. I've been searching the internet for an appropriate recipe-- so far I've found:

and

Searching for sourdough recipes can be difficult though, because so often the links are about creating a sourdough starter.
in the search box and hit search, you will come up with a few pages of recipes that only use potoato like this one
