My Mother made these for years. She is 90 years old now. I was checking to see if the recipe was here. She learned this from her grandmother. Her recipe uses 2 cups of mashed potatoes, 1.5 sugar, 2 eggs, 4 tlbsp shortening, 4 tblsp powered buttermilk, 4-6 cups of flour, 2 teaspn baking powder, 1 teaspn nutmeg 1teaspn baking soda, 1 teaspn salt 1 cup of water. She made donuts and the holes were a plus. Everyone I knew loved them, and they would disappear fast. They are as good as any donut shop has.
