Some say a potato has no place in a doughnut. These people need to broaden their horizons. Potatoes in doughnuts are great! They add moisture, fluffiness - what's not to love? In this episode of Chip Advisor, we embrace spuds in puds and create a delicious Biscoff doughnut recipe.

Method

  • Brown the butter over a low heat and set aside, keeping it warm so it doesn't harden.
  • Peel and boil the potatoes (make sure their peeled weight is 340g) and finely mash them using a ricer when they are very soft.
  • Whisk the plain flour and baking powder together, adding a pinch of salt, and set aside.
  • Whisk the eggs, milk, buttermilk and mashed potatoes. Combine with the dry ingredients and gently bring together to form a dough.
  • Heat the oil to 160°C. Use a cookie cutter to cut out 8cm disks of the dough.
  • Fry the doughnuts until they are cooked through and crisp on the outside.
  • Whisk the glaze ingredients together, pour over the doughnuts and cover with the crushed biscuits and a crisp each.
  • What do you think of the recipe?
