Prep Time

Preparation for spudnuts takes about 20 minutes.

Cook Time

Cook time takes approximately 15 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup instant mashed potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Oil for frying
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk or water
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Mixer
  • Frying pan
  • Slotted spoon
  • Plate lined with paper towels
  • Small bowl
  • Whisk

Method

  1. In a large bowl, combine the instant mashed potatoes, sugar, butter, eggs, and milk. Mix until well combined.
  2. Sprinkle the yeast over the mixture and let it sit for 5 minutes.
  3. Add the flour and salt to the bowl and mix until a dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5 minutes.
  5. Place the dough back in the bowl, cover it with a towel, and let it rise for 1 hour.
  6. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  7. Roll the dough out on a floured surface to 1/2 inch thickness.
  8. Cut the dough into donut shapes using a donut cutter or two round cutters of different sizes.
  9. Carefully place the donuts into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides, flipping once.
  10. Remove the donuts from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  11. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk or water, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  12. Dip the tops of the donuts into the glaze and let them cool before serving.

Notes

  • For a cinnamon sugar version, skip the glaze and instead mix together 1/2 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon in a shallow dish. Roll the warm donuts in the mixture until coated.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a little more milk.
  • Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the donuts. If it's not hot enough, the donuts will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the donuts, as this will lower the temperature of the oil and result in unevenly cooked donuts.
