Potato Doughnuts
This old fashioned homemade yeast Potato Doughnuts recipe yield the most amazingly soft and fluffy doughnuts that are not only delicious but super easy to make too.
Servings: doughnuts
Ingredients
- 2 cups (250 gr) bread flour
- 2 cups (250 gr) all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup (100 gr) granulated sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 7 oz (200 gr) warm mashed potatoes, from 2 medium potatoes
- 3/4 cups (180 gr) warm milk
- 1/3 cup (75 gr) margarine/butter
- Oil, for frying
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Stir with a wooden spoon until a dough forms. Then, knead the dough with your hands until smooth. It takes about 10-12 minutes by hand or 8-10 minutes in a stand mixer. Form dough into a ball.
- Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise and double for 60-90 minutes at a warm temperature.
- After the dough has doubled, punch down the dough. Transfer it to a lightly floured surface and knead the dough to release the gas.
- Measure the weight of the dough and filling with a kitchen scale and divide it into 24 (mine is 50 gr each). Cut the dough into 24 and roll them into balls.
- Make a hole in the center of the dough with your thumb. Widen the hole with your hands until they fit 2 fingers width.
- Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rest and double for 20-30 minutes at warm temperature until they puff up a bit.
- When the oil is heated to 375F/190°C, carefully drop in the doughnuts in several batches into the oil. Put a chopstick in the doughnut hole and then spin the doughnuts during the deep-frying occasionally to prevent the hole from closing. Cook until golden brown for about 1-2 minutes each side, flipping them once only.
- Transfer the doughnuts to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain and cool. Eat them immediately or glaze, sugar-coat, or put toppings on them.
Notes
To make mashed potatoes, peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks. Steam the chunks for 15-20 minutes until tender. Test by poking them with a fork. Mash the potatoes immediately while still hot.
