SAVORY POTATO DOUGHNUTS



Savory Potato Doughnuts image

Ready, Set, Cook! Special Edition Contest Entry: A great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. And who doesn't love warm doughnuts

Provided by blackdogchef

Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Yield 12 doughnuts, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 slices bacon, cubbed
4 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup Simply Potatoes Traditional Mashed Potatoes (prepared without butter or milk, just use water)
3 tablespoons shortening
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, well beaten
1 cup milk
4 ounces goat cheese

Steps:

  • brown off bacon.
  • prepare mashed potatoes. Instead of adding in milk or butter add 4 oz of goat cheese.
  • Combine all ingredients (a food processor may be used).
  • Roll out on a lightly floured surface. Adjust dough consistency, if needed, adding flour if dough is too sticky or a little milk if too crumbly, until a soft, rollable dough is obtained. Add as little flour as is possible to avoid having heavy, tough, doughnuts.
  • Cut out doughnut shapes using a doughnut cutter, two biscuit cutters or two glasses (a shot glass is a good size for cutting out the doughnut holes). Dip the cutters in flour before each cut.
  • Use a spatula sprayed with non-stick spray to transfer the doughnuts to hot oil (about 370°F). Turn once until browned on both sides and cooked through. If outside of doughnut browns before inside is cooked, reduce temperature.
  • Remove from oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Shake in a brown paper bag filled with granulated sugar (cinnamon may be optionally added) or dust with confectioners sugar while still warm.
  • For a festive look, drizzle with confectioners icing and sprinkle with colored jimmies.
  • Serve warm.

THE BEST OLD-FASHIONED DOUGHNUTS



The Best Old-Fashioned Doughnuts image

We spent a lot of time perfecting this doughnut. We wanted a cakey and light texture that wasn't greasy-and we achieved it! The classic craggy edges add a pleasant texture and hold onto the sweet glaze. A combination of buttermilk and sour cream provides tang and richness. But the secret ingredient to the batter is vegetable oil. Surprisingly, it doesn't weight the doughnuts down but makes them even more moist and tender.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 doughnuts and 8 holes

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons plus 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2/3 cup plus 6 tablespoons buttermilk
1/2 cup sour cream
1 large egg and 1 egg yolk, beaten to blend
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon vanilla paste
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for frying
2 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, 1 1/4 teaspoons of the salt and the nutmeg in a large bowl until completely combined. Whisk together 2/3 cup of the buttermilk, the sour cream, eggs, yolks, 1 tablespoon of the vanilla paste and the oil in a medium bowl until completely combined. Fold the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients just until a soft and sticky dough comes together (do not overwork).
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and liberally dust with flour (about 1/3 cup).
  • Scrape the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Dust your hands and the top of the dough with more flour, then gently pat the dough to 3/4-inch thick.
  • Working on the baking sheet, punch out as many rounds as you can with a 3 1/4-inch cutter. Then use a 1 1/4-inch cutter to punch out the center of each round. Dip the cutters in flour before each cut to avoid sticking. Gather the dough scraps and gently re-roll without overworking the dough. Repeat cutting until all the dough has been used (you should have 8 doughnuts).
  • Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet and line a second rimmed baking sheet with several layers of paper towels. Fit a large heavy pot with a deep-fry thermometer and pour in oil to a depth of 3 inches. Heat over medium-high until the thermometer registers 375 degrees F.
  • Fry the doughnuts in batches until deep golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to the wire rack and let cool slightly. Fry the doughnut holes until deep golden brown, about 90 seconds per side. Transfer to the wire rack and let drain for 1 minute. Then transfer to the paper-towel lined baking sheet to cool for 10 minutes before glazing. (This two-step process gets a lot more oil out of the doughnuts than using only one method.) Repeat with the remaining dough, making sure the oil returns to temperature between batches.
  • Whisk together the confectioners' sugar, the remaining 6 tablespoons buttermilk, the remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla paste and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until the glaze is smooth and the consistency of honey; add more confectioners' sugar or buttermilk if necessary.
  • Dip each doughnut into the glaze on one side (we like the craggy side, it has more texture for an appetizing appearance), letting the excess drip back into the bowl, then return it to the wire rack. Toss the doughnut holes in the glaze to coat completely and return to the wire rack. Let the glaze set for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Cook the potatoes thoroughly before mashing them. This will help to prevent the doughnuts from becoming dense.
  • Add a little bit of baking powder to the mashed potatoes to help the doughnuts rise.
  • Use a combination of all-purpose flour and bread flour for a chewy texture.
  • Be careful not to overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the doughnuts tough.
  • Let the doughnuts rise in a warm place until they are doubled in size. This will help to ensure that they are light and fluffy.
  • Fry the doughnuts in hot oil until they are golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the doughnuts will not cook evenly.
  • Drain the doughnuts on paper towels before serving. This will help to remove any excess oil.
