I first tried these tasty treats at my sister's house and thought they were the best I'd ever had. They're easy to make, and the fudge frosting tops them off well. When I make them for friends, the recipe is always requested. -Pat Davis, Beulah, Michigan

I've tried many potato doughnut recipes and this one is by far the best. The doughnuts are light and fluffy, and the glaze is the perfect finishing touch.

I followed the recipe exactly but my doughnuts turned out dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These doughnuts were a little too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good.

These doughnuts were easy to make and turned out great! I used mashed sweet potatoes instead of russet potatoes and they were delicious.
