This recipe is from my Grammy Blanche! She is 92 years old, and it wasn't that many years ago when I heard she made these for her entire church congregation for a Halloween Party!
Spudnuts
1/2 c. warm water
1Tbs. yeast
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. sugar
2/3 c. shortening
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. nutmeg
2 c. scalded milk
1 c. mashed potatoes (she uses instant)
2 c. beaten eggs
6-7 c. flour
Scald milk and cool. Dissolve the yeast in the 1/2 c. warm water. Beat eggs, sugar salt, and shortening. Add to milk and yeast and potatoes. Add flour until you are able to knead. Knead 5-10 minutes. Let rise. Knead again and roll our 1/2" thick. Cut with a donut cutter (or a mason jar screw band will work, just be sure to remove the center also with a milk lid or something similar). Let rise until double in size and then fry in hot oil.
Glaze:
1/2 c. water
1 c. sugar
1/4 c. powdered sugar
Boil water and sugar until first indication of small thread. Remove from heat and stir in powdered sugar. Reheat if needed, add a little more water if needed.
