Blue Ribbon Recipe
These little tasty sweet potato doughnuts are just perfect for a snack on a fall afternoon or even for a few quick bites on a busy morning. Doughnuts might be a little misleading. To us, these had the texture of a sweet potato fritter. Outside they are slightly crisp and hold in the mashed sweet potato filling. Enjoy plain or with a dusting of powdered sugar.
