Yes...I DID make doughnuts, and no....I didn't burn down my house this time! (Inside joke). These are quick doughnuts because they don't have any yeast to have to wait to raise. If you have left over mashed potatoes from Sunday dinner, this is a great treat to try out! FYI these aren't the fluffy, flaky doughnuts, these are a hardy cake like doughnut, but still delicious!
