Spudnuts are a tasty combination of potatoes and donuts that make for a unique and fluffy treat. These homemade spudnuts are sure to impress your friends and family with their light and airy texture. Enjoy them for breakfast or as a sweet snack any time of day!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups mashed potatoes
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Oil for frying
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine mashed potatoes, sugar, butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
  2. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until well combined.
  3. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut out donut shapes using a donut cutter or a glass and a smaller round cutter for the holes.
  4. Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F. Carefully drop donuts into the hot oil, frying until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
  5. While still warm, dust donuts with powdered sugar. Serve and enjoy!
