AUNT MARTHA'S SPUDNUTS
This is a simple and easy recipe for raised doughnuts. You will love making these delicious doughnuts using yeast and freshly boiled potatoes.( mashed without butter,seasoning or milk-just the smashed potatoes). Great glazed or with cinnamon sugar. Aunt Martha made these many times, now I have this recipe from the 40's.

Steps:
- 1. Cook potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil; cook until tender. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup potato water; cool to lukewarm. (save remaining water for other dishes- freeze it to use with soup of vegetables).
- 2. Dissolve yeast in the 1/2 cup potato water;stir until dissolved. In a large mixing bowl;Mash potatoes when cooled to lukewarm and add to yeast mixture. Stir in milk, oil, sugar, eggs and salt. Add enough flour to form a soft dough. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down; let rise again until doubled, about 20 minutes. Roll out on a floured surface to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with a floured 3 inch doughnut cutter.
- 3. In a deep fryer(I use my electric fry pan), heat oil to 375^. fry doughnuts, a few at a time, until golden brown on each side. For a glaze: 4 c. powdered sugar 1/3 c. water 1 teas. vanilla Combine ingredients in a bowl and dip warm doughnuts in glaze. Cool on wire racks. --- OR---- Place granulated sugar about 1/2 cup and 2 Tablespoons cinnamon in a seal-able bag and place luke-warm doughnuts in bag -one or 2 at a time and shake gently to coat evenly.
