3/4 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 c. mashed potatoes
1/2 c. sweet milk
1 tbsp. baking powder
2 1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 tbsp. shortening
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. nutmeg

Beat mashed potatoes; add melted shortening, beaten eggs, and milk. Sift dry ingredients together and add to the liquid. Dough should be soft yet firm enough to roll.

Separate dough into 2 parts and roll each out to thickness of 3/4 inch. Cut with doughnut cutter and cook in deep fat (365 degrees). Fry to golden brown. Drain on absorbent paper. Dust with powdered sugar or sugar and cinnamon mixture.
