--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      Pkg           Dry Yeast
     1/2  Cup           Mashed Potatoes
     1/4  Cup           Warm Water
   1                    Egg
     1/2  Cup           Milk
     3/4  Tsp           Salt
   2      Tbls          Butter
   3 1/4  Cups          Flour
     1/4  Cup           Sugar

Combine the dry yeast with the warm (110 degrees) water. Set aside. Heat the
milk with the butter and sugar in a small saucepan until the butter begins
to melt. Cool to lukewarm. Combine the mashed potatoes with the egg in a
large bowl. Stir in the cooled milk mixture, the dissolved yeast and the
salt. Gradually beat in enough of the flour to form a soft dough. Turn out
onto a lightly floured board. Knead until smooth. Place in a lightly
buttered bowl, turning to grease the entire outside surface. Cover. Let rise
in a warm place until doubled in bulk (1-1 1/2 hours). Punch down. Knead
again. Roll out on a lightly floured board to a thickness of  1/4". Cut out
using a floured doughnut cutter. Cover. Let rise until doubled. Preheat the
oil in the deep fryer. Fry doughnuts until browned on both side (about 2
minutes). Drain. Sprinkle with sugar. Yields 18 Doughnuts From:
