Delicious Potato Doughnuts image

I first tried these tasty treats at my sister's house and thought they were the best I'd ever had. They're easy to make, and the fudge frosting tops them off well. When I make them for friends, the recipe is always requested. -Pat Davis, Beulah, Michigan

These doughnuts were a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good.
