1 1/2 c. scalded milk
2 pkgs. yeast
1/2 c. sugar
1/3 c. butter
2 eggs, beaten

1 c. mashed potatoes

GLAZE:

1 lb. powdered sugar
1 tbsp. cornstarch
Butter, size of an egg
1 tbsp. sweet cream
1 tsp. vanilla
Enough warm water to make a liquid

Boil and mash potatoes, put in mixing bowl and add butter, eggs, sugar and milk. When lukewarm, add crumbled yeast. When yeast raises to the top, it is dissolved. Now add salt and flour, place in bowl and cover. Let rise, punch down only once and let rise again. Roll out 1/2" thick, cut with doughnut cutter, but DO NOT cut holes. Let raise until double in size. When ready to fry, pull a hole in the center with fingers, stretch to half dollar size. Fry in deep fat. Glaze while warm.
