Recipe - Mashed Potato Doughnuts

2 tablespoon Crisco shortening; melted
1 Egg
One half cup Milk
2 Three fourths cup Flour
2 One half teaspoon Baking powder
1 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Mashed potatoes

Blend Crisco, egg and milk. Mix flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
Combine two mixtures with mashed potatoes and mix thoroughly. Roll on
lightly floured pastry cloth or board and cut with floured doughnut cutter.
Fry in deep Crisco heated to 365 degrees (or when a one inch cube of bread
browns in 60 seconds) 35 minutes. Drain on absorbent paper. Dip in
powdered sugar.

These do not keep well. Serve within 24 hours for best flavor.
