On Fat Tuesday, where I'm from, we eat Fauschnauts. They're a German doughnut often made partly with mashed potatoes. They are plain doughnuts, for those used to the sugar bombs at Dunkin' Donuts, they many not be doughnuts at all. But to me they're tradition.This year I couldn't wait for Fat Tuesday. These I made using mashed sweet potatoes instead of the normal white potato. Plus I added a little intrigue by filling them, with a homemade cinnamon custard. Okay, so I like tradition with a twist, there's nothing wrong with that. I finished them off with a simple glaze.
The added flavor and substance was much appreciated on my end. They really were quite wonderful, though maybe not "fauschnauts" to most. I guess I lean more towards the sugar bombs.
