OLD FASHIONED POTATO DONUT HOLES
These donut holes bring back fond memories for some of us; of a near and dear one cooking these up for breakfast on weekend mornings.
Ingredients:
4 potatoes, washed and peeled and halved
1/3 cup margarine, melted
2 cups white sugar
3 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 quart vegetable oil for frying
powdered sugar (optional)
Directions:
Put potatoes in a medium sauce pan and cover them with water. Cook over medium heat until fork tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, cool, and mash.
Combine 1 1/2 cup mashed potatoes with butter or margarine, eggs, buttermilk and vanilla; in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand alone mixer and beat until smooth.
In another bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add flour mixture to the potato mixture; stirring until well combined. Refrigerate batter for 1 hour.
Fill a 2 to 4 quart sauce pan, or deep fryer, 1 to 2 inches deep with vegetable oil and heat to 350 degrees F
Form the chilled batter in 1 tablespoon size balls. Use a spoon to carefully slide the potato balls into the hot oil. Let cook until brown, turn, and cook opposite side. Remove from oil, briefly drain on paper towels, and roll in powdered sugar if desired. Serve hot.
