Ingredients
-
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
-
¼ cup warm water
-
1 cup milk, scalded
-
¼ cup shortening
-
¼ cup white sugar
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
¾ cup mashed potatoes
-
2 large eggs, beaten
-
4 cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
Glaze:
-
1 (16 ounce) package powdered sugar
-
6 tablespoons water
-
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
-
2 cups oil for frying, or as needed
Directions
-
Dissolve yeast in warm water.
-
Meanwhile, combine scalded milk, shortening, sugar, and salt in another bowl. Cool until lukewarm, about 5 minutes.
-
Stir yeast mixture, mashed potatoes, and eggs into the milk mixture. Gradually add enough flour to make a soft dough.
-
Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead until smooth. Place in a lightly greased bowl; turn over to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
-
Roll dough out to a 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into doughnuts with a cookie cutter.
-
Cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, combine powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and water for glaze until smooth.
-
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Fry doughnuts in the hot oil, working in batches if needed, until golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool, about 10 minutes.
-
Dip doughnuts in glaze or drizzle over top.
