I like using up the leftovers from any meal. My family likes donuts so everyone is happy when some whipped potatoes escape the hungry hoards at Thanksgiving! They go together quickly so you could make a decadent, surprise breakfast some morning for what will be a very grateful family.
Leftover Whipped Potato Donut Drops
½ cup leftover whipped potatoes
1/4 cup sugar
1 eggs, lightly beaten
½ cup sour cream
1 vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Oil for deep-fat frying
Cinnamon and sugar for finished donuts.
Directions
In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, sugar, egg, sour cream and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients; stir in potato mixture.
Drop by teaspoons into hot oil. A deep fryer is perfect but I have done will with a heavy-bottomed pot on the stove. Just heat and test a teaspoon of batter to check.
Ideas . . .
-Don’t care for s sugary donut, try dusting them with powdered sugar.
-A thin lemon glaze is good for increasing the flavor value.
-Go truffle-like and dust with a mixture of baking cocoa and powdered sugar.
-Mocha sound good, add some espresso powder to the cocoa and powdered sugar.
-If you are careful to seal it well, stick a chocolate chip into each teaspoon full before frying for a tasty surprise.
-You can substitute up to 1/4 cup whole wheat flour in the batter.
