It turns out potatoes vodka tastes great. A little different, but interesting and unique.
This new video using Sweet Potato is even better:
• How To Make Sweet Potato Vodka
If you want to make your own you can follow this recipe:
20 kg (44 lb) of high starch, or roasting potatoes. Brushed not peeled.
5.5 kg (12 lb) of crushed malted barley
Plenty of water (present to drink water)
3 tablespoons of bakers yeast (I used "Angel")
Put the potatoes into a large pot and steam them for 45 min (or until tender and easily crushable)
Mash well
Add 8-10L of water ( 2.1 - 2.6 gal)
Mix well and ensure all larger pieces of potato are crushed
Slowly mix in the malted barley
Gently bring the temp up to 63 c (146 f)
Let mash for one hour (or until you pass the starch test)
Cool to pitching temp 25c ( 77 f)
Pitch the yeast and ferment at 25c
Let ferment go until fermented out. Optionally let the ferment sour slightly by waiting another 1-3 days.
Strip distil the whole batch
(you will either need to strain the wash first or use a suitable still to distil on the grain)
Distil the low wines with 3-4 plates or reflux still.
Make appropriate cuts and proof down to your desired abv/proof.
ENJOY!

Potatoes were one of the main ingredients in making Poitín after alcohol was taxed in Ireland (from 1661 onwards). This was because potatoes were, by then, in abundance and very cheap as opposed to local Grain (Wheat, Barley and Oats) which became scarce and expensive due to it being grown for export.
While making your brew if you were to add in a small element of of turf dried malted grains, for the conversion of Starch to Sugar, and after that process, mash in a small amount of Crowberries, Raspberries, Blackberries, Apples and Plums - you would have the basis for a pretty good Irish Poitin. It would all be distilled in a Pot Distiller and, if there was time, put through again. Similar methods and recipes were common in the UK and particularly in Scotland where they called it Moonshine (not to be confused with US Moonshine which is largely made from Corn).

That was usual thing in our villages in Poland. Most of farmers had own alcohol made form potatoes through 100s of years. My grandfather is still master in it.

My great grandmother used to make it on the back of the coal stove during the winter.. She used the main potato for Bobka and for Potato Bread and for Pirogi, but she used the peels for the vodka... she went through hundreds of pounds of potato ever winter in the celebration bobka etc.. so using peels only was OK.. but as you did, her shortcut for Pierogi was to boil the whole potato, then scoop out the centers for the pierogi dishes, and toss the peels in the pot for vodka. Bobka she peeled to potato before shredding, but, not a problem as again the skins went in the pot, and when full enough, she added rye flour to it, and then it went in closet and next pot went on back of stove..lol..a cycle- I wish 4 year old me had taken more notes as ere in Jamaica I only get Vodka when I fly to USA
