Is this the famous Spudnut recipe that was such a popular chain in the 50's? Nobody has ever beaten a spudnut donut for fantastic taste. I am 61 and can still taste those gems. I know they used potatos but don't know if it was potato flour or mashed potatoes. Anyhow they sure were good. Will have to try this one and see if it comes close :) Thanks for the post.

When I was but a wee lass in Ireland, my Mum made doughnuts as a treat from time-to-time and her recipe called for mashed potatoes. They were and are delicious and a must try.

This is tooooo tooo funny - its the exact recipe my mom used to use - only instead of drizzling the glaze on she would dunk them in it and then let it drip off - and oh how this brings back memories!!! thanks
