Spudnuts

2 cups milk, scalded (2 1/5 -3 minutes in the microwave)

4 Tbs. shortening

2/3 cup potato water

2/3 cup sugar

1 cup mashed potatoes

1 tsp. salt

Cool to lukewarm, then add:

1 Tbs. yeast, dissolved in 1/4 cup warm water, plus 1 Tbs. sugar

2 eggs

6 cups flour

Let rise, mix down and let rise again. Roll out 1/2 inch thick and cut into doughnut shape. Fry in 2-3 inches of heated oil (keep the oil on a low to medium heat or the dough will cook too fast and burn). Take out of oil and drain on a paper towel and let cool.

Glaze

1/2 cup milk

1 pkg. powdered sugar

1 Tbs. flour

1 Tbs. butter

1 tsp. vanilla

Scald the milk (heat until bubbles form around the side; 2 1/2 to 3 minutes in microwave). Stir in the other ingredients and mix with beaters until smooth. The consistency will be on the runny side. Keep it warm. Dip the spudnuts in the glaze and let set.
