1½cupslukewarm water
for frying:
3-4cupsvegetable oilor canola
for garnish:
granulated table sugar
Instructions
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.
