Idaho Spudnuts
Raising eight children on a potato farm in Idaho, Mother was very creative at using an abundant crop. We especially liked her light, fluffy potato doughnuts. We encouraged Mother to let us help make them often. Now I prepare them to share with friends and neighbors.

We have looked at this recipe in our TOH cookbook for years...always saying "we're going to make those." We finally made these yesterday and they were delicious. It's one of those we're sorry we didn't make them earlier. The taste was yummy and we gave some to friends, all of which declared them yummy. The only thing that is not all that great is that they do not hold their texture into the next day. We made them in the early evening (done by 7:00PM) and in the AM they weren't as fluffy. So, I would recommend making them in the AM, so they could be finished by the evening...don't worry, they'll be gone. Just an FYI, we made donuts, but then because we have a goofy donut cutter (it has teeth??) we ended up using our small 4 oz measuring glass to make donut holes and those fried up beautifully.

Thanks for sharing this excellent recipe! These potato doughnuts were light on inside, crispy on outside. We used non-melting confectioner's sugar to coat them, but froze some ( so I don't eat ALL of them!) and will try the glaze on them in a few days.

The mashed potatoes in donuts part sounds sooo weird, but these donuts are sooooo good! We have made these many times over the past 10+ years! I wish they weren't soo high in calories though.. 1 lb. of potatoes is about a big potato and a half..... These donuts go away quick at my house.
I love love this recipe. Made these for grand kids they loved them.
I just made these and they are WONDERFUL, and looked just like the picture, even for me. I used 2 cups of mashed potatoes. I will make them again for Thanksgiving and Christmas morning.
Haven't tried them yet, but going to. Sounds great!
I've made this recipe half a dozen times over the past few years. I wish I knew how much mashed potatoes "1 pound" is, but my guestimations don't seem to have hurt anything yet!
