Cream the sugar and shortening until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks. Combine the dry ingredients and add to the creamed shortening and sugar mixture. Gradually add the milk, then the hot mashed potatoes. Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold into the batter. Stir in the walnuts and the vanilla. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Frost with your favorite chocolate frosting.
