POTATO PUFF

This is one of those comfort foods my mom makes for me when I was sick as a child. I have always been "sickly" and had pneumonia quite a bit and had to even be home schooled for a while in 1st grade. I could manage to keep this down because it's pretty light and it made me feel special because she always made it at my request.

Categories     Other Side Dishes

Time 5h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pkg granular or compressed yeast( i used 2 1/2 tsp. fast acting yeast)
1/2 cup warm water
1cup milk ( scalded )
2/3 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs, ( well beaten )
1 cup potatoes, mashed
6 cups flour, sifted
1tbsp. butter, melted

Steps:

  • 1. Crumble granular yeast over warm water or compressed yeast over lukewarm water..( or sprinkle fast acting yeast over warm water ). Scald milk, then cool to lukewarm. Cream shortening, sugar, and salt; blend in eggs and mashed potatoes.
  • 2. Add yeast mixture to milk and stir into creamed mixture. Add flour to make soft dough. Turn onto lightly floured board and knead thoroughly.
  • 3. Place in large greased bowl; cover to let rise in warm place until doubled (about 2 hrs; ( it really takes longer unless you have a very warm place to put it) ). Punch down, and knead again. Brush with butter..
  • 4. Cover tightly; place in refrigerator until ready to bake. ( will keep in fridge overnight but place in a very large bowl and cover tightly as dough rises in fridge.) OR; after kneading thoroughly , skip refridgeration and pinch off dough and form into small rolls of desired shape. Place 2" apart on greased baking sheet.. Brush with melted butter.. Cover, let rise in warm place til doubled in size about 2 ( or more) hours. Bake in hot oven( 400° 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned..makes 2 1/2 dozen, ( if you form small rolls..) or about 1 1/2 dozen large rolls..
  • 5. NOTE: if using refridgeration, brush with melted butter after last knead, before putting in fridge. About 2 1/2 hrs before you want to bske them, pinch off dough and form into small rolls of desired shape..follow as above from here..

Tips:

  • Select the right potatoes: Use starchy potatoes like Russet or Idaho potatoes for the best results. These potatoes have a high starch content, which helps them hold their shape and become crispy when fried.
  • Boil the potatoes thoroughly: Make sure the potatoes are fully cooked before mashing them. This will prevent them from becoming too watery and help them hold their shape better.
  • Use a ricer to mash the potatoes: A ricer will help you achieve a smooth and lump-free mashed potato mixture. This will make the potato puffs lighter and more delicate.
  • Season the mashed potatoes well: Don't be afraid to add plenty of salt, pepper, and other seasonings to the mashed potatoes. This will help enhance their flavor and make the potato puffs more delicious.
  • Chill the mashed potatoes before frying: Chilling the mashed potatoes before frying will help them hold their shape better and prevent them from becoming too greasy.
  • Use a deep fryer or a large saucepan for frying: If you don't have a deep fryer, you can use a large saucepan filled with oil. Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the potato puffs, or they will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
  • Fry the potato puffs in batches: Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the potato puffs. This will prevent them from sticking together and becoming soggy.
  • Drain the potato puffs on paper towels: After frying, drain the potato puffs on paper towels to remove any excess oil.

Conclusion:

Potato puffs are a delicious and versatile snack or side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of different flavors and toppings. Whether you like them plain or loaded with cheese, bacon, or sour cream, potato puffs are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So next time you're looking for a fun and easy snack to make, give potato puffs a try!
