Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (cooked and cooled)
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• Oil for frying
• 1 cup powdered sugar (for coating)

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
2. In another bowl, mix together the mashed sweet potatoes, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg until well combined.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
5. Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 375°F (190°C).
6. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a floured surface to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.
7. Using a donut cutter, cut out donut shapes from the dough. If you don't have a donut cutter, you can use a round cookie cutter for the outer shape and a smaller round one for the inner hole.
8. Carefully place the donuts into the hot oil, frying a few at a time. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
9. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked donuts to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
10. Allow the donuts to cool slightly. While still warm, coat them in powdered sugar by rolling them in a bowl of powdered sugar.
11. Serve the sweet potato donuts warm and enjoy!
