Yield 48 doughnuts

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 cups flour
7 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups mashed potatoes
3 eggs, well beaten
2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1 cup milk
oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Sift first three ingredients together.
  • Beat potatoes, eggs, sugar, melted butter together; add nutmeg and milk and stir.
  • Add sifted ingredients and stir until just blended; chill.
  • Preheat the oil to 375F in a large saucepan or stockpot.
  • Place about 1/3 of the dough at a time on a lightly floured board, sprinkle surface lightly with flour and roll to 3/8" thickness (the dough should be just stiff enough to handle; the softer the dough, the more tender the doughnut).
  • Cut with a doughnut cutter dipped in flour.
  • Fry until golden brown.
  • Drain on paper towels for a few seconds; roll in granulated or confectioners' sugar, if desired.
