2-1/2 cups mashed potatoes or riced potatoes (without added milk, butter or seasonings)1 cup whole milk3 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten2 tablespoons butter, melted2 cups sugar2 tablespoons baking powder5 to 6 cups all-purpose flourOil for deep-fat fryingGLAZE:2 cups confectioners’ sugar5 tablespoons half-and-half cream1/2 teaspoon vanilla extractOptional: Food coloring and sprinkles
Preparation
In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, milk, eggs and butter. Combine the sugar, baking powder and 2 cups flour; stir into potato mixture. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Refrigerate, covered, 1 hour.
Divide dough in half. Turn each half onto a lightly floured surface; roll to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut with a 2-3/4-in. doughnut cutter.
In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry doughnuts, a few at a time, until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix glaze ingredients until smooth. Color glaze if desired. Dip doughnuts in glaze and sprinkles as desired.
