POTATO DONUTS, GRANDMA'S RECIPE
The potatoes in this recipe make these homemade doughnuts really moist and delicious. Grandma loved this recipe and made them often. When she made them we got to help and as a reward we got to feast on the doughnut holes which were strictly for us kids. Yumm! She always frosted them with thinned powdered sugar icing. You can...

Steps:
- 1. In a large mixing bowl combine mashed potatoes, sugar, buttermilk, and eggs, mix well. Stir in butter, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt. Then add enough flour to make a soft dough (6 1/2 to 7 cups).
- 2. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface and knead a few times until smooth. Pat dough out to a rectangle about 3/4 inch thick. Cut doughnuts with a 2 1/2 inch floured doughnut cutter. (Or use a 2 1/2 inch circle cutter and cut center hole with a 1/2 inch round cutter.) Save holes to fry. Pat out other scraps of dough again into a 3/4 inch thick rectangle. Continue cutting out doughnuts and holes until all dough is used.
- 3. Heat 1 inch of oil in a large heavy skillet. Temperature should be 375 degrees. Use a thermometer if possible or try frying a doughnut hole to ascertain correct temperature like Grandma did. Fry doughnuts 2 minutes on each side or until a nice golden brown color. Drain on paper towels. Allow to cool slightly and then frost or sprinkle with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar.
- 4. For powdered sugar frosting use 3 cups powdered sugar, a pinch of salt, 1/2 teaspon vanilla, and 4 tablespoons of milk. Mix well. Frosting should be quite thin and runny. Drizzle heavily over warm doughnuts on a wire rack. Allow extra frosting to drip off doughnuts and then flip them over and repeat on second side. Let frosting dry before storing in a sealed container like a cookie tin or plastic dish.
AUNT KATHY'S OLD-FASHIONED POTATO DONUTS
As a child, my husband loved going to his Aunt Kathy's in hopes that she would be making his favorite old-fashioned potato donuts. These are light and flavorful. They are best served fresh and warm and enjoyed with a cup of hot coffee, tea, or cocoa. You can leave them plain, dust them with powdered sugar, white sugar and cinnamon, or drizzle them with a glaze.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Beat sugar and shortening together in a bowl using an electric mixer until creamy. Add milk, eggs, and vanilla extract; stir well. Stir in mashed potatoes. Add flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Stir using a sturdy spoon, as mixture will be thick. Refrigerate dough for 1 hour so that dough will be less sticky and easier to work with.
- Lightly flour a countertop and place plastic wrap on top of dough; roll out to desired thickness. Cut into strips or use a donut cutter to make traditional round donuts.
- Lower donuts carefully into the hot oil in batches. Fry until 1 side is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and continue frying until other side is golden, about 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining donuts.
- Transfer donuts to a wire rack to cool.

LEFTOVER MASHED POTATO DONUTS RECIPE BY TASTY
Why waste your leftover mashed potatoes when you can make these mashed potato donuts instead? The milk, butter, and salt in your mashed potatoes makes these donuts even tastier, and a roll in cinnamon sugar after frying gives them an irresistible crunch. Depending on the consistency of your mashed potatoes, you may need to add additional flour during kneading, just until the dough is no longer sticky.

Steps:
- Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg into a medium bowl.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter with an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Add the granulated and brown sugars and the mashed potatoes and cream until combined. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.
- Add half of the dry ingredients to the mashed potato mixture and mix on medium speed until mostly incorporated. Add the buttermilk, and mix until almost combined. Add the rest of the dry ingredients and use a spatula to finish mixing until just incorporated.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 1-2 minutes, adding up to ¼ cup (30 g) more flour as needed until the dough is cohesive and no longer sticky.
- Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to ½ inch (1 ½ cm) thick, flouring the dough as needed.
- Use a 3-inch (7 cm) round cutter to cut out donuts. Use a 1-inch (2 ½ cm) round cutter to cut out holes from the centers. Set the donuts and holes on a baking sheet. Re-roll the dough scraps and cut out more donuts. Refrigerate the donuts and holes until ready to fry.
- Heat the canola oil in a large pot fitted with a deep fry thermometer over medium heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C). Set a wire rack over a baking sheet and place nearby.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Set near the wire rack.
- Working in batches, fry the donuts and holes in the hot oil for about 2 minutes per side, until deep golden brown. The donut holes will take less time than the donuts. Transfer to the wire rack to cool for 1 minute, then carefully toss in the cinnamon sugar.
- Eat warm, or let cool completely.
- Enjoy!
