The potato doughnut

Potatoes are one of the most popular vegetables.

Potatoes were imported into Europe from America by the Spanish in 1565. It was one of the main food of the Indians. It is a rich source of vitamin C, and its vitamin A and B content is significant, too. In the past there were not many potato varieties, but this has changed today. There are thousands of varieties around the world. Potatoes are used not only for food purposes, but also for feeding animals.

My favourite dish is potato doughnut. There is the recipe for it:

1. Heat some milk, dissolve the sugar in it and crumble the yeast

2. Break through the boiled potatoes and work together with the flour shifted into the bowl. Add the milk, egg yolks, oil, salt and knead until smooth.

3. On a floured kneading board, stretch it to the thickness of a finger and sniff out the potato doughnuts with a scones 3 cm diameter.

4. Cover and rise for an hour in a warm place. Fry the risen doughnuts in a large frying pan in plenty of hot oil.

5. When we bake them, we turn the small doughnuts most of the time so that both sides are nice red.

6. We take the finished potato doughnuts on paper towels to get the excess oil off them.
