Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (8 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ¼ cup lukewarm water
  • 4 cups all purpose flour (568 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 medium potatoes (boiled and riced (about 225 grams or 1 cup))
  • 1½ cups lukewarm water
  • 3-4 cups vegetable oil (or canola)
  • granulated table sugar

Instruction

  • In a small bowl, combine yeast, sugar and water.
  • Stir and let stand for 10 minutes (will get foamy).
  • Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, salt, mashed potato, and water with the dough hook.
  • Add the yeast mixture and knead for about 10 minutes. Please note that the dough will be extremely soft.
  • Cover and allow to double in size. This will take about 2 hours.
  • When the dough is ready, heat up the oil for deep frying (375°F)
  • Stretch a piece of dough about the size of a golf ball and drop it in the oil.
  • When they achieve a light golden color, remove them from the oil, and place on the plate lined with paper towels. This should take 1-2 minutes.
  • Repeat until there is no dough left.
  • Sprinkle with granulated sugar while the fritters are warm.
  • These fritters are best the day they are fried.
