Doughnuts

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Doughnut Batter

    In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. Add to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Doughnuts

    Using a spoon or a doughnut cutter, carefully drop the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.

  5. 5

    Drain and Cool

    Remove the doughnuts from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Let cool slightly before serving.
