Ingredients

  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 1 cup warm 2% milk (70° to 80°)
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3/4 cup shortening
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4-1/2 cups bread flour, plus additional flour if neccessary
  • 2-1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast

  • Place potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil; Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until tender.

Tip

Big Batch Baked Goods

We enjoy homemade baked goods for breakfast, but I don’t have time to bake each morning before school. So I devote 1 day a month to making large batches of cinnamon rolls, doughnuts, cream cheese rolls and muffins. I place them in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags labeled with the date. (They freeze for about 2 months.) On busy mornings, it’s a snap to pop a few in the microwave to warm. The kids love the fresh-baked flavor. —Lori T., New London, Texas

This has been a family favorite since it was in the magazine. Best eaten by the day after made, if any stay around that long.

These donuts are fairly good-especially for a no-fry recipe.
