SPICED POTATO DOUGHNUTS



Spiced Potato Doughnuts image

Yield Makes about 20 doughnuts

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups mashed cooked russet (baking) potatoes (about 1 pound)
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest if desired
1 teaspoon vanilla
vegetable oil for frying
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste

Steps:

  • Into a bowl sift the flour, the baking powder, the salt, the cinnamon, and the nutmeg. In a small bowl whisk together the eggs, the butter, the sugar, the potatoes, the milk, the zest, and the vanilla until the mixture is combined well, add the potato mixture to the flour mixture, and stir the dough until it is just combined. Chill the dough, covered, for 1 hour, or until it is cold and can be handled easily. Roll out half the dough 1/2 inch thick on a well-floured surface and with a 3- to 3 1/2 inch doughnut cutter cut out doughnuts, reserving the center pieces. With the other half of the dough either cut out round doughnuts in the same manner or shape the dough into crullers. For the crullers, roll the dough into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle about 14- by 5-inches and cut into 5- by 1/2 inch strips. To form each cruller twist 2 strips of dough together and pinch the ends to secure them. Fry the round doughnuts, the reserved doughnut centers, and the crullers in batches in 2 inches of 375°F. oil, or until they are golden, transferring them as they are fried to paper towels to drain.
  • While the doughnuts are still warm roll them, 1 at a time, in the sugar mixture, coating them well. The doughnuts keep, wrapped in plastic wrap, for 1 day.
  • In a shallow bowl stir together the sugar and the cinnamon.

Tips:

  • For a crispier doughnut, fry them at a higher temperature (375°F) for a shorter amount of time (2-3 minutes per side).
  • For a softer doughnut, fry them at a lower temperature (350°F) for a longer amount of time (3-4 minutes per side).
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when frying the doughnuts. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the doughnuts will not cook evenly.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove the doughnuts from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Allow the doughnuts to cool slightly before glazing or topping them.

Conclusion:

Spiced sweet potato doughnuts are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and packed with flavor. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect doughnuts at home that will impress your friends and family.
