Terry, I know you were hoping to find something with potato starch, but these may be interesting alternatives. Her recipe for Olive Oil Bread is a long one, and includes onions, balsamic vinegar and Gorgonzola, but I'd be happy to post it if you're interested. Warning: my Prodigy activity runs in spirts, and I may miss a message on the bulletin board-- so if I don't reply I may need a reminder in my private mail box.
