Chocolate Potato Doughnuts - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
1 cup cold mashed potatoes (these need to be plain without butter, milk etc.)
2 eggs, beaten
3 cups flour, sifted
2 tablespoons baking powder (I know, it's a lot)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 cup buttermilk or 1/2 cup sweet milk

Preparation

Stir sugar, butter and potatoes into eggs and beat until creamy.
Sift flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and cocoa together.
Alternately add milk and flour to egg mixture.
Chill well for 2+ hours (overnight even).
Roll 1/2 inch thick (*It is best to roll small amounts at a time and keep dough chilled as much as possible. Or you can roll, cut and return doughnut to fridge to keep chilled before frying. It makes it easier to handle).
Cut out.
Fry in hot fat (365 F) 3 minutes turning once.
