butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

Coconut oil adds flavor and is a healthier fat option.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories, while water can be used to reduce richness.

Combine mashed potatoes (without butter or milk) in a bowl.

Add 1 cup milk, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and 3 lightly beaten eggs to the mashed potatoes and mix until creamy.

Add 2 cups sugar, 2 cups flour, and 2 tablespoons baking powder to the mixture.

Continue adding flour until the dough thickens, which may take up to 3 cups in total, until a stiff dough forms.

Divide the dough in half and roll out to about 1/2 inch thickness.

Cut out donut shapes from the rolled dough using a donut cutter.

Heat lard in a deep fryer until hot.

Fry the donuts, flipping them until they are golden brown on both sides.

Remove the donuts and drain excess fat on a cloth.

Mix 2 cups of sugar with cinnamon to taste and toss the donuts in the mixture.
