2 c sweet potatoes, boiled & pureed

1/2 c sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 bottle cooking oil, for deep frying

Steps:

Tips:

  • For a crispier doughnut, fry them at a higher temperature (375°F) for a shorter amount of time (2-3 minutes per side).
  • For a softer doughnut, fry them at a lower temperature (350°F) for a longer amount of time (3-4 minutes per side).
  • Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the doughnuts, otherwise they will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
  • Use a thermometer to accurately measure the oil temperature.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the doughnuts, otherwise they will not cook evenly.
  • Drain the doughnuts on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  • Serve the doughnuts warm or at room temperature.
