Time 3h30m

Yield 30 mini doughnuts, plus holes

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2-ounce dry yeast (2 (1/4-ounce) packages)
1/3 cup warm water
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cake flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup hot water
3 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 ounce baking potato, like russets, cooked, peeled and riced
Chocolate glaze, recipe follows
Canola oil, for frying
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup cream

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine yeast, warm water and sugar to dissolve. Add 1/4 cup of the all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup of the cake flour. Stir and set in a warm place for 30 minutes to foam up. Combine cocoa powder and baking soda and add hot water to dissolve. Add the melted chocolate to the cocoa powder mixture then stir in the powdered sugar, salt, and potato. Add this to the foamed yeast along with another 1/4-cup of all-purpose flour and the remaining 1/4-cup of cake flour and mix on low to combine with a paddle.
  • Mix on high speed for 30 seconds to combine. Add the remaining 1/4-cup of all-purpose flour and mix on high speed. Flour the work surface heavily and knead the dough gently (it may be sticky). Turn into a greased bowl and proof until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and punch down then proof for another 30 minutes.
  • Flour work surface heavily and pat out dough to about 1/2-inch thick. Cut out doughnuts and holes, flouring the cutter each time, and set on a floured sheet pan. Heat oil to 375 degrees and drop in doughnuts and holes. Cook doughnuts for 45 to 60 seconds and the holes for 30 seconds, flipping once. Drain on a paper towel-lined sheet pan.
  • Place the chopped chocolate in a bowl. Boil the cream and pour it over the chocolate and let sit, whisking to combine. Keep warm. Dip doughnuts in chocolate glaze when cooled.

AUNT KATHY'S OLD-FASHIONED POTATO DONUTS



Aunt Kathy's Old-Fashioned Potato Donuts image

As a child, my husband loved going to his Aunt Kathy's in hopes that she would be making his favorite old-fashioned potato donuts. These are light and flavorful. They are best served fresh and warm and enjoyed with a cup of hot coffee, tea, or cocoa. You can leave them plain, dust them with powdered sugar, white sugar and cinnamon, or drizzle them with a glaze.

Time 2h20m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 quarts vegetable oil for frying
1 cup white sugar
4 tablespoons shortening
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup instant mashed potatoes
4 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Beat sugar and shortening together in a bowl using an electric mixer until creamy. Add milk, eggs, and vanilla extract; stir well. Stir in mashed potatoes. Add flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Stir using a sturdy spoon, as mixture will be thick. Refrigerate dough for 1 hour so that dough will be less sticky and easier to work with.
  • Lightly flour a countertop and place plastic wrap on top of dough; roll out to desired thickness. Cut into strips or use a donut cutter to make traditional round donuts.
  • Lower donuts carefully into the hot oil in batches. Fry until 1 side is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and continue frying until other side is golden, about 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining donuts.
  • Transfer donuts to a wire rack to cool.

Baked Chocolate Cake Donuts image

It might not be traditional to bake donuts, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't! Cocoa powder and chocolate chips enrich the batter for these baked beauties, and each one is finished with chocolate glaze and sprinkles or more chocolate-in the form of shavings.

Time 2h40m

Yield Makes 18

Number Of Ingredients 20

3/4 cup mini chocolate chips (6 ounces)
1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
1/4 cup natural cocoa powder, sifted
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup heavy cream, plus more if needed
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pans
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/3 cup natural cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup whole milk
1 cup mini chocolate chips (8 ounces)
Sprinkles or chocolate shavings (optional)

Steps:

  • Chocolate Glaze: Combine chocolate, confectioners' sugar, cocoa, salt, and butter in a small bowl. Heat cream in a small pot over medium-high until bubbling around edges, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour hot cream over chocolate mixture; let stand 1 minute. Add vanilla and whisk until mixture is smooth and has the consistency of hot-fudge sauce. If it's too thick, add more cream, 1 tablespoon at a time. (Makes 1 1/3 cups.)
  • Donuts: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly brush 3 standard donut pans with butter. Whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Beat butter with both granulated and brown sugars on high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating to combine after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to low; add flour mixture in two batches, alternating with milk, beating to combine after each addition. Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Transfer batter to a piping bag fitted with a large, plain tip (such as Ateco #807), or to a resealable plastic bag, then snip a 1/2-inch hole in one corner. Pipe 3 tablespoons batter into each cup in pans. Bake until tops spring back when lightly touched, 10 to 11 minutes. Let cool in pans 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks set in rimmed baking sheets and let cool completely.
  • Dip top of each donut in glaze until halfway submerged, turning as needed to evenly coat one side. Place, glaze-side up, on racks. Top with sprinkles or shavings and let stand until completely set, about 1 hour. Donuts are best served the day they are made, but can be stored, unglazed, in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 day; glaze 1 hour before serving.

MAINE CHOCOLATE DOUGNUTS



Maine Chocolate Dougnuts image

Last December, my Dad was insistent that we make these doughnuts while I was home visiting for the Christmas season. I was so glad that we did because not only are they delicious but they are part of my family's heritage. These doughnuts are made with potatoes, and my Mom's family the Griffins were potato farmers in Mapleton, Maine. These doughnuts bring me back to my roots :)

Tips:

  • Use Russet potatoes: They have a high starch content, which makes them ideal for doughnuts.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are very soft: This will make them easier to mash and will help the doughnuts to be light and fluffy.
  • Allow the mashed potatoes to cool completely before adding them to the dough: This will help to prevent the dough from becoming too sticky.
  • Use a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook to knead the dough: This will help to develop the gluten in the dough and make it more elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place for at least an hour, or until it has doubled in size: This will help the doughnuts to be light and airy.
  • When frying the doughnuts, use a deep fryer or a large saucepan filled with oil: This will help to ensure that the doughnuts cook evenly.
  • Fry the doughnuts until they are golden brown on all sides: This will take about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Drain the doughnuts on paper towels before serving: This will help to remove any excess oil.
  • Serve the doughnuts warm, dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with chocolate glaze: This will make them even more delicious!

Conclusion:

Chocolate potato doughnuts are a delicious and unique treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you are looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give these doughnuts a try. You won't be disappointed!
