Donuts are not hard to make. 3 cups of flour, two packets of yeast, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 cup of milk, oil for frying. Make the dough, let it rest, cut the donuts let them rise, fry in hot oil, drain. I filled these with jelly, dulce de leche and chocolate dulce de leche - respectively. (See the little hole where I injected the filling?)
Hot soft pillows of sweet delight filled with a surprise, but these donuts have another surprise I didnt mention in the ingredient list and that is a cup of fluffy baked potato. The donut bite is dense but still light and fluffy if that makes any sense and with the spud thrown in it makes these decadent desserts more like a food - in my mind!

I'm having a coffee right now...wish I had one of these ! Excellent recipe...I know I will be back for this in a few days...
Nice. i never would have thought to add potato into a doughnut. Come to think of it it sort of reminds of those spudnuts from somewhere in the midwest I think..
I'm just making our breakfast now, and we would have loved a few of these on the table! I like the thought of potato as an ingredient! An I almost bought a jar of dulce de leche (HaPå)since we talked about it the other day!
mmmm...fresh donuts. way to tempt us first thing in the morning. so not fair
Nicely done. And, good idea to turn doughnuts into vegetables. No guilt.
Oh you tease, fresh donuts on a sunday morning.. my hot coffee i my hand. How far from south jersey to NY anyway;)?
I have a friend who adds potato to her pizza dough. Great idea for doughnuts too. I never think to make them but you're giving me the bug now.
Its about 9:30 am and I could use abot 2 of those to go with my tea and Sunday papers, sigh
my first job was dunkin' donuts. i used to eat about a dozen a day. my favorite was teh maple square: a soft pillowy square-shaped donut sliced down the middle and filled with sweet, sweet cream and frosted with a lovely maple frosting. GOD that was amazing.
They are not good for you- that's how you know they're good!
mmmmmmmmm donut gooood

The hell with Crispy Kremes, we have Crispy Christos!
OMG....I want some dulce de leche ones!!! Ship some my way...PRONTO! ;)
wonderful post for a lazy Sunday morning
There's nothing like a fresh, hot, home-made donut! Heavenly fillings.
Oh how I craved Donuts when I was pregnant with my son! The donuts look so sweet my mouth is watering...By the way not pregnant just in case you we wondering!
Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum one..looks so good
That's like my Tweed Cake with mashed potatoes in it. Any time you can fool your kids into eating healthy stuff under the guise of sweet treats is a good day in my book!
Pillows of sweet, dulce de leche-filled delights are manna from heaven! I love the secret spud ingredient.
These remind of the ones I saw on Alex's Day Off on TFN this morning.
oh my dulce de leche...and CHOCOLATE dulce de leche??
wow.
Wow! donuts! Just lovely! A goood cup of coffee and this treat would be delightful
I want to make jelly doughnuts for Chanukah. Thanks for giving me a head start on a recipe - a potato huh.
I would love to dunk it!
I love home made donuts! My mom used to put mashed potatoes in her when we were little. Have you ever heard of that? I'm just wondering.
I was going to email you Saturday and ask about Chicken Stew. For the life of me I could NOT remember what I put in it to make the broth thicker.
Potatoes and doughnuts, two of my favorite things! Hahaha. I made doughnuts the other day, but I baked them. :(
it's funny you made these now, homemade donuts were always a halloween tradition for us. these look just mouthwatering!
These would be impossible to resist!
You make jelly donuts too?

Where the hell did the *nut* come from?
They're not doughnuts, they're a side dish! ;)
Doggy, they look spectacular. I'll take one of every flavor, please.
Beautiful! My mom used to make risen doughnuts, but I haven't ever tried them. Love the idea of customizing your won yummy filling flavors.
my little one would definitely be excited if mommy can make these :D
Potatoes + Doughnuts...2 of my favorite things that I never thought would go together. Great recipe!
Ack, that's cruel! Sudden dip in sugar levels. I seem to think I need a donut now.
I've seen so many doughnut posts lately, I am craving them now. These sound great!
Those are so much prettier than my first try at donuts! Yeah the batter is pretty easy but the frying was tricky. And I think potatoes make every sweet thing come out wonderful! great idea!
