By PSchultz

Ingredients

• 2 cups hot mashed potatoes (mashed with butter and milk)
• 2 1/2 cups sugar
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 2 Tbsp butter, melted
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 6 1/2 - 7 cups flour
• Vegetable oil for frying

Preparation

Step 1

In large bowl, combine potatoes, sugar, buttermilk and eggs. Stir in butter, baking soda and baking powder, nutmeg, salt and enough of the flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Pat out to a 3/4 inch thickness. Cut with a 2 1/2 inch floured doughnut cutter. In an electric skillet, heat 1 inch of oil to 375. Fry the doughnuts for 2 minutes per side until browned. Place on paper towels. Dip tops of warm doughnuts in Fast Fudge Frosting.
