GREBEL (KAREN) RECIPE

Steps:

• Put potatoes, salt, yeast, eggs in food process and blend for 15 seconds. Add one cup flour. Mix. Heat oil, water, and milk to 110 to 115°. Add to processor slowly. It may get too full. (I used my blender. You can mix it by hand in a big bowl. Keeping flour on the fingers will help to keep the dough from sticking to them and any surface you are working on.) Turn out on board or bowl to finish blending. Add flour to make soft dough. After well blended turn out on floured surface and knead. Let rise until double. Divide dough and roll to 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Cut using use a donut cutter. Let rise. Deep fat fry. Donuts will rise when they hit the hot grease.
