I had intentions of getting this up sooner but then life threw me a curve ball that turned my world upside down, so I'm just now getting this up. In fact, my mom has these rising on the counter at this very minute!
2 cups warm water (at least half of it being potato water from preparing your mashed potatoes)
2 cups sugar
1 tab yeast
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup melted shortening
2 beaten eggs
1 cup mashed potatoes
7-9 cups flour
Combine yeast, sugar and water and let sit for about 5 minutes. Mix in remaining ingredients to make a soft dough. Let raise until double. Knead down, let raise again. Roll out on floured surface until 3/4 in thick, then cut and set on floured surface for about 1/2 hour. Prepare glaze by mixing 1 pound powdered sugar with hot water in a large bowl to make a thin syrup. Fry in hot oil til golden brown, flip over and fry til the other side is golden brown. Dip spud nuts into glaze right after pulling out of the oil and place on a baking rack or hang on wooden dowel or spoon handle to cool. Enjoy! (Makes about 5 dozen.)
