    List of Ingredients




    Potato Doughnuts


    2 cups sugar
    3 whole eggs
    2 cups mashed potatoes
    1 cup milk
    5 tsp. Baking powder
    4 cups all-purpose (not bread) flour
    1/2 tsp. Salt
    1/2 tsp. Nutmeg or mace
    1 tbsp. Melted butter

    Recipe






    Combine all ingredients (a food processor may be used).
    Roll out on a lightly floured surface. Adjust dough consistency, if needed, adding flour if dough is too sticky or a little milk if too crumbly, until a soft, rollable dough is obtained. Add as little flour as is possible to avoid having heavy, tough, doughnuts.

    Cut out doughnut shapes using a doughnut cutter, two biscuit cutters or two glasses (a shot glass is a good size for cutting out the doughnut holes). Dip the cutters in flour before each cut.

    Use a spatula sprayed with non-stick spray to transfer the doughnuts to hot oil (about 370°F). Turn once until browned on both sides and cooked through. If outside of doughnut browns before inside is cooked, reduce temperature.

    Remove from oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Shake in a brown paper bag filled with granulated sugar (cinnamon may be optionally added) or dust with confectioners’ sugar while still warm.

    For a festive look, drizzle with confectioners icing and sprinkle with colored jimmies.

    Serve warm.
