Ingredients

• Wheat Flour 20 oz

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Boil the potatoes in their skins in lightly salted water. Peel them. Pass them through a ricer immediately to achieve a fluffy texture.

Step 2

Crack the egg and beat it with a fork, then add it to the still warm potatoes. Mix well. Add sugar. Stir again.

Step 3

Dissolve the yeast in milk heated to 80°F. Mix the potatoes with the flour, then add the milk with the yeast. If the dough seems too runny, add a bit more flour.

Step 4

Add salt and softened butter. Do not add the salt earlier: the yeast will not activate.

Step 5

Mix thoroughly once more. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 3 hours.

Step 6

After 3 hours, the dough will double in size. Divide the dough into pieces weighing 50 grams each. Let them rest for another 15 minutes.

Step 7

Fry the donuts in hot oil at 355°F for 1 minute.
