I found Nan's handwritten copy of this recipe this morning. Nan was famous for her Spud Nuts. She even took them over to Mahone Auto for the staff and they enjoyed them too. Here is the recipe!! Spud Nuts (makes 30 to 40) 1/2 cup milk (scaleded and cooled) 2 or 3 teaspoons yeast, dissolved in 1/3 cup warm water 3 eggs, (beaten) 1 cup mashed potatoes 1/2 cup margerine, or shortening mixed 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup sugar 1 teaspoon nutmeg 1 teaspoon vanilla Flour to make a soft dought (approx. 4 cups) If potato is mashed hot, add margerine and sugar, it will all melt together. Do not add yeast if too warm. When all is mixed, let rise in a warm place until doubled. Roll and cut with a donut cutter, place on floured board for at least an hour or doubled in size. Fry in hot oil like donuts, brown on both sides. Glaze: 2 cups icing sugar 3 Teaspoons water 3 Teaspoons vanilla Donuts can be cool to dip in glaze Thanks Nan for this wonderful tradition. we will miss you so much!
