Step 1

Warm cider in microwave to 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Add yeast and set aside 5 minutes.

Step 2

In separate bowl, add potatoes, sugar, oil, vanilla, and egg. Whisk together.

Step 3

In separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

Step 4

Whisk cider/yeast mixture into potato/sugar bowl. Once combined, add flour bowl into cider. (You will likely need to hand mix the dough.)

Step 5

Cover bowl with Saran Wrap and proof 1 hour in a warm place.

Step 6

Roll dough out on floured surface until about 1/2 inch thick and cut with 3 inch biscuit cutter. Cut out middles with smaller cutter.

Step 7

Spread donuts 2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. Cover w/ Saran Wrap and proof in a warm area for 30 minutes.

Step 8

Heat fryer (or crisco in a pan) to 350 degree Fahrenheit.

Step 9

Fry each donut on one side until golden, then flip and fry the other side (should be less than 2 minutes per side depending on your fryer).

Step 10

Move donuts to a plate with a paper towel to absorb some of the oil. Let sit 1 minute and then dip in a mix of cinnamon and sugar to coat. Best enjoyed warm but can be cooled then frozen to preserve freshness for another day.
