INGREDIENTS
150 ml (2/3 cup) lukewarm milk
3 g (1 teaspoon) dry yeast
750 g (6 cups) all-purpose flour
2 eggs
120 g (1/2 cup) sugar
300g boiled potatoes
80g (5 tbsp) melted butter
2 g (1 tsp) lemon zest

METHOD
In a bowl mix the milk with the dry yeast, set aside.
In another bowl, combine the flour, boiled potatoes and sugar, mix well.
Add eggs, yeast mixture and stir to combine.
Add the lemon zest and the melted butter and continue to knead the dough with your hands until you obtain an elastic dough.
Form a ball with the dough, cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 3 hours.
Transfer the dough to a work surface and roll with a pin. Use a bowl to cut out circles 8-9cm in diameter and a smaller bowl or glass to cut out the donut hole.
Place each donut on a sheet of baking paper and leave to rest for 1 hour.
Fry donuts in hot oil for 2-3 minutes on each side.
