These are SO yummy! They're not a lot of work, because you can cheat & use instant mashed potatoes. I always think I should half the recipe - but always decide not to - and they disappear SO quick! ENJOY! Ingredients:
2 cups hot mashed potatoes (mashed w/ milk & butter - or - use 2 c. prepared instant mashed potatoes for a quicker take on this) |
2 1/2 cups sugar |
2 cups buttermilk |
2 eggs, lightly beaten |
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine, melted |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
6 1/2-7 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
cooking oil |
1 lb confectioners' sugar |
1/2 cup baking cocoa |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/3 cup boiling water |
1/3 cup butter or 1/3 cup margarine, melted |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine potatoes, sugar, buttermilk and eggs.
2. Stir in butter, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, salt and enough of the flour to form a soft dough.
3. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; pat out to 3/4 thickness (using just your hands- don't roll w/ rolling pin!) Cut w/ a 2 1/2 floured doughnut cutter.
4. In an electric skillet, heat 1 of oil to 350.
5. Fry the doughnuts for 2 minutes per side or until browned.
6. Place onto paper towels to drain.
