Ingredients

  • 4 cups (500 gr) all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 tsp (11 gr) instant yeast
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (100 gr) granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 7 oz (200 gr) warm mashed purple sweet potatoes
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) warm milk
  • 1/3 cup (75 gr) margarine/butter
  • Oil, for frying

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients to 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 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.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and gently roll out to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with a floured donut cutter. Or cut with a 3-inch/7.5 cm cookie cutter then make holes inside with a 1-inch/2.5 cm cookie cutter. Place each doughnut on a piece of parchment paper.
  • Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rest and double for 20-30 minutes at warm temperature.
  • When the oil is heated to 350F/180°C, carefully drop in the doughnuts using the paper into the oil. Cook until golden brown for about 1-2 minutes on 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 purple sweet potatoes:
  1. Peel and cut the purple sweet potatoes into chunks.
  2. Steam them for 15-20 minutes until tender. Check by poking them with a fork.
  3. Mash them immediately while still hot.
