Soft And Crispy Donut Recipe

I tried many recipes for donuts but this one is best of all and I want to thank Fatima Zahid for sharing it with me. You must be surprised like I was that the main key ingredient in this recipe is “mashed boiled potatoes” which make these donuts very soft and crispy but you are not going to feel any taste of potatoes in it. You can use them another day too if you store them in air tight box. The softness will be the same on other days.  One more good thing about this recipe is that you don’t have to wait for your dough to rise for hours. So here is the recipe for a soft and crispy donut.
