AUNT KATHY'S OLD-FASHIONED POTATO DONUTS



Aunt Kathy's Old-Fashioned Potato Donuts image

As a child, my husband loved going to his Aunt Kathy's in hopes that she would be making his favorite old-fashioned potato donuts. These are light and flavorful. They are best served fresh and warm and enjoyed with a cup of hot coffee, tea, or cocoa. You can leave them plain, dust them with powdered sugar, white sugar and cinnamon, or drizzle them with a glaze.

Time 2h20m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 quarts vegetable oil for frying
1 cup white sugar
4 tablespoons shortening
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup instant mashed potatoes
4 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Beat sugar and shortening together in a bowl using an electric mixer until creamy. Add milk, eggs, and vanilla extract; stir well. Stir in mashed potatoes. Add flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Stir using a sturdy spoon, as mixture will be thick. Refrigerate dough for 1 hour so that dough will be less sticky and easier to work with.
  • Lightly flour a countertop and place plastic wrap on top of dough; roll out to desired thickness. Cut into strips or use a donut cutter to make traditional round donuts.
  • Lower donuts carefully into the hot oil in batches. Fry until 1 side is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and continue frying until other side is golden, about 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining donuts.
  • Transfer donuts to a wire rack to cool.

1/2-ounce dry yeast (2 (1/4-ounce) packages)
1/3 cup warm water
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cake flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup hot water
3 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted

1/2 teaspoon salt
6 ounce baking potato, like russets, cooked, peeled and riced
Chocolate glaze, recipe follows
Canola oil, for frying
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup cream

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine yeast, warm water and sugar to dissolve. Add 1/4 cup of the all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup of the cake flour. Stir and set in a warm place for 30 minutes to foam up. Combine cocoa powder and baking soda and add hot water to dissolve. Add the melted chocolate to the cocoa powder mixture then stir in the powdered sugar, salt, and potato. Add this to the foamed yeast along with another 1/4-cup of all-purpose flour and the remaining 1/4-cup of cake flour and mix on low to combine with a paddle.
  • Mix on high speed for 30 seconds to combine. Add the remaining 1/4-cup of all-purpose flour and mix on high speed. Flour the work surface heavily and knead the dough gently (it may be sticky). Turn into a greased bowl and proof until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and punch down then proof for another 30 minutes.
  • Flour work surface heavily and pat out dough to about 1/2-inch thick. Cut out doughnuts and holes, flouring the cutter each time, and set on a floured sheet pan.
