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!

Steps:
- Have ready two parchment-lined baking pans. Place potatoes in a small saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain in a colander. Pass potatoes through a potato ricer or food mill and into a medium bowl; set aside.
- Place 1/4 cup warm water in a small bowl; sprinkle with yeast, stir gently, and let stand until creamy, 5 to 10 minutes. Using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the milk, shortening, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt. Let stand until cooled to just warm. Add yeast mixture, reserved potatoes, and eggs; beat until combined. Fit mixer with the dough-hook attachment. Add 5 cups flour, and mix on medium-low speed until combined, adding more flour if necessary, until a smooth and elastic dough is formed, about 5 minutes. Transfer dough to a large, lightly greased bowl; cover. Let stand in a warm place until dough is doubled in size, about 55 minutes.
- Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface. Roll out to 1/2 inch thick. Using a 2 1/2-inch-diameter doughnut cutter, cut and place on prepared baking pans. Loosely cover with plastic wrap; let stand in a warm place until dough has risen by about one-third, about 30 minutes.
- Combine confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and remaining 6 tablespoons water in a medium bowl, stirring until smooth; set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar and cinnamon until well combined; set aside.
- In a large, low-sided saucepan over medium heat, heat oil until a deep-frying thermometer registers 375 degrees. Drop doughnuts into oil; fry in batches until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to several layers of paper towels to drain. Place drained doughnuts on a wire rack set over a baking pan. Dip half the doughnuts in glaze; return to wire rack. Roll remaining doughnuts in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until well coated.
