Potato Doughnut Recipe ??????

[Dandelion Acres]

My mom used to make these AWESOME potato doughnuts when I was a very young man. She always made them in the fall, and when we were home for Christmas, we searched for the recipe to no avail. Anyone out there have one?

I think most of the recipes for them are under spudnuts.

-This is one thing I really miss about growing up. My family were members of the local Grange hall when I was a kid, and my Grandma and the other ladies would be in the kitchen frying donuts for the donut sale/fund raiser. And up until about four years ago when the Grange disbanded, I'd help out during our county fair working at the Grange stand helping serve breakfast. Now I'm gonna have to try thins one out!
