Raised Potato Doughnuts

== Ingredients ==
* ½ cup of powdered milk
* ½ cup of melted butter
* 1 teaspoon of salt
* 1½ teaspoon ground nutmeg or cinnamon
* 1 package of yeast (or 2 tablespoons)
* ¾ cup of sugar
* 1 cup of mashed potatoes
* 3 eggs
* 1¾ cups of (potato) water
* 6 - 6½ cups of white flour
== Directions ==
# Peel, cut and boil 1 large or 2 medium sized potatoes in water, until the potatoes are very soft.
# Remove from heat.
# Drain, reserving the water.
# Smash the potatoes with a fork.
# Measure out one cup of mashed potatoes for the recipe.
# Measure out 1¾ cups of potato water (adding more water if necessary to make 1¾ cups).
# While the potatoes and the water are still warm, beat together all of the ingredients, except for the flour.
# Then, gradually stir in the flour.
# Stir in only as much flour as needed to make a workable dough.
# The dough should be very soft and a little sticky to the touch.
# Cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator for an hour to an hour and a half, or until the dough is nearly double in size.
# Punch down the dough.
# On a floured cookie sheet or large tray, roll out the dough ½ inch thick and cut into donut shapes.
# Remove the dough around the doughnut shapes.
# Roll out the remaining dough on another cookie sheet, in the same way.
# Cover the cookie sheets and allow the doughnuts to rise for 20 minutes (skip this rising if you are using "instant" yeast).
# Fry in deep oil for 3–4 minutes, turning soon after dropping in the oil and then again after a minute or two.
# Glaze the doughnuts as soon as they are cooked, if you like, with this glaze:.
# Mix 2 cups of powdered sugar with ½ cup of boiling water.
# Dip one side of the doughnut in the glaze.
# Place, glazed side up, on a plate and sprinkle with coconut, if desired.
# Serve.
