SPUDNUTS
This is an old family favorite, handed down for years, the outside of the doughnut is crisp and the inside is light and chewy. This does make a HUGE batch, first timers may want to half it. These are worth the effort.

Tips for Making Aunt Martha's Spudnuts:
- For a crispier exterior, fry the spudnuts at a higher temperature (375°F) for a shorter amount of time (2-3 minutes per side).
- For a softer, more cake-like interior, fry the spudnuts at a lower temperature (325°F) for a longer amount of time (3-4 minutes per side).
- Use a potato ricer to get the smoothest mashed potato mixture.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in tough spudnuts.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when frying the spudnuts, as this can cause them to stick together.
- Drain the spudnuts on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve the spudnuts warm, dusted with powdered sugar.
