Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Mashed potatoes (unseasoned)
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
Add the mashed potatoes to the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently roll it out to about 1/2-inch thickness.
Use a doughnut cutter or two round cutters (one larger and one smaller) to cut out doughnut shapes. Re-roll the scraps to cut out more doughnuts.
Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the doughnuts in batches, 2-3 at a time, for about 1-2 minutes per side or until golden brown. Be careful not to overcrowd the pot.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the doughnuts from the oil and drain on a wire rack set over a baking sheet lined with paper towels.
To make the chocolate frosting, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
Remove the cream from the heat and pour it over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
Stir in the vanilla extract and let the chocolate frosting cool slightly.
Dip the tops of the cooled doughnuts into the chocolate frosting and return them to the wire rack to set.
Serve and enjoy your Fantastic Potato Doughnuts with Chocolate Frosting!
