> 500 g strong flour - (I have used manitoba flour)
> 100g milk - (lukewarm)
> 3 eggs - (whole)
> 5 g dry yeast - (or 15 g fresh)
> 7g salt
> 70g sugar
> 100 g butter - softened a little
> 200 g mashed potatoes - weighted with skin
> peanuts oil - for fying
> custard - for stuffing

Those look lovely, Pandora. As I see potatoes in the ingredient list, I am
reminded of a long ago donut chain here in the US called Spudnuts. It was
a franchise chain that originated in the 1940s in Utah. "Spuds" is a
nickname for potatoes. The donuts from the Spudnut shops did, indeed,
contain potatoes, and were usually available warm from the fryer. There
are still a few Spudnut shops around, but most are gone and I don't think
new franchises are available. Just a bit of trivia.
