Doughnuts
Ingredients
1 pt mashed potatoes
3 eggs
1 cup warm potato water
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup sugar
2 tsp salt
1 cup butter
Preparation
Mash potatoes while they are still hot. Add the butter, sugar, beaten
eggs, vanilla and salt. Add the potato water. In another bowl, mix 1
cup lukewarm water and 2 tbsp. yeast and 1 tsp. sugar. Let rise for
several minutes then add to potato mixture. Mix with flour in a large
bowl. Knead until the dough is not sticky. Let it rise until the next
morning. Roll it out and cut with a doughnut cutter. If you prefer
bigger doughnuts, turn a small bowl that has a sharp cutting edge
upside down. Let the doughnuts rise until double in size. Fry in deep
fat.
