Recipe Description
POTATO DONUTS
October 13, 2016 by Miranda Leave a Comment
Potato Donuts – amazing tasting deep fried donuts using mashed potatoes!
Every holiday table has a heaping bowl of mashed potatoes being served up. These potato donuts is the solution to any of the leftover mashed potatoes that you may have. I hope you don’t mind me thinking ahead. I just love the holidays so much and can’t wait to get some family time! Besides, the holidays will sneak up on you if you don’t start planning a month or two ahead of time.
You may want to set aside a small bowl of mashed potatoes before putting them on the holiday table just for these potato donuts. They are so fluffy and probably one of my favorite donuts. Add a dusting of cinnamon and sugar and I could probably inhale half of a dozen of these. Seriously.
Let’s be honest though. I could inhale most donuts. They’re amazing!
