Yeah, where's the hooch. I saw these same instructions somewhere else and no mention of fermenting the juice. I mean, it'd be freaking awesome if potatoes were just that special that you didn't need to use yeast and wait days for it to produce alcohol, but I'd have been making this as an afterschool snack if it were that easy...
