Ingredients

• Potatoes
• Egg
• Kosher salt
• Active dry yeast
• Sugar
• Flour
• Peanut oil

Instructions

1. Peel and cut potatoes into similar size chunks. Boil for 22 minutes or until fork-tender.
2. Drain potatoes and mash them up with a potato masher. Add kosher salt and one whole egg. Mix until it becomes a fine sludge.
3. Add one cup of potato broth, active dry yeast, and sugar. Mix with a rubber spatula.
4. Start adding 400-500 grams of flour until the dough becomes sticky to the touch but does not stick to your finger.
5. Knead the dough and place it in a bowl with a little oil. Cover with a warm damp towel and let it rise for 30-40 minutes.
6. Cut the dough into 12 pieces and shape them into balls. Cover with a damp towel and let them rise for 5-7 minutes.
7. Heat peanut oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Fry the dough balls for 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
8. Serve plain or brush with unsalted butter and drizzle with honey. For a sweet and salty kick, sprinkle with flaky sea salt or dust with powdered sugar and cinnamon. Enjoy!
