Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 24 servings 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. Editor's Note: We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
