Vet Bollen - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 large baking potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 1/4 cups white sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
2 3/4 cups flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 cup raisins (plumped in water)
powdered sugar
canola oil

Preparation

Cook potatoes in salted water. Mash and set aside.
Mix the next seven ingredients well.
Add to mashed potatoes and blend well.
Heat your oil for frying. It is ready when a pinch of dough dropped in bubbles and browns quickly.
If your potatoes were starchy enough, you will be able to scoop up some dough and roll into balls. Make them about walnut size.
If dough is too loose, drop the dough in using a teaspoon.
Cook until browned, turning if needed. I suggest testing one ball when browned so you will be able to open it to see if it is done inside.
Drain the balls and while just warm, roll in powder sugar.
These are best when eaten warm.
