- 🍩 1915 Potato Doughnut Spudnuts Recipe - Some people would call this a spudnut recipe, others a Yankee Potato Doughnut recipe; no matter what you call this potato doughnut recipe its origin is murky. On the day we filmed this recipe; Wikipedia says that the recipe originated in the early 1900s and was first published in 1938 in New England. This recipe is from 1915 and was published in Canada, so the Wiki story doesn't add up. I looked back farther and found this recipe in newspapers across the U.S. as early as 1877 - so the recipe goes back, way back. It probably originates in the early 1800s, but that will take more research.
Ingredients:
2 cups hot mashed potatoes
2 cups sugar
1 cup sweet milk
2 Tablespoons butter
5 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
Five Roses Flour to make a soft dough
Method:
Mix as usual.
Roll out ½ inch thick.
Fry in hot grease.

Thanks for watching Everyone! The recipe is in the Description box.
Thanks Glen! Love these potato recipes, Things like Boxty (Irish potato pancakes). Potatoes are a great ingredient for so much.
El Dorado AR has a Spudnut shop ....there are none better
Looked to see if this cookbook was still available and there are some available for 90 or so us currency. So sad. Seems like a good book.
The extra effort you put into researching the history and/or science of cooking adds a lot to these videos, great stuff
I agree I learn so much .
I see that someone has updated Wikipedia and they mention Glen & Friends in a footnote!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potato_doughnut
Cool!
I just checked the same thing! The internet certainly works fast.
@@Syndicate_01 same and was about to comment. We are certainly a quick bunch these days.
It’s gone, an editor removed it and said “UA-cam is not a reliable source”. UA-cam censors so it’s understandable, but the reference glen made was to an actual cookbook. So IMO it was a petty removal, but that’s Wikipedia
Just checked again, it is now a note for the “Five Roses Cookbook” Glen mentions, but only the fact he does mention it and no reference to this UA-cam
I really appreciate Glen's channel. I love how he does the research and discusses the sources and history of his recipes, and he comes off as just a wholesome, genuinely good guy, (without being sanctimonious or anything like that). No crazy personality for the camera or over-the-top editing or long, unnecessary intro/theme song either. It keeps the attention on the recipe itself in my opinion.
Sorry for all of the unsolicited commentary, I just really like your channel Glen!
He comes across as like the perfect uncle you want to baby sit the kids. They'd come home talking about how today they learned to make authentic chowder from 1921.
Don't worry, I share the same sentiment. I usually can't stand watching "chef" videos, but like the food they make, these videos are warm and comforting. They present cooking like it is, and I always feel like I learned something about the ingredients themselves, or a bit of history. What we eat here at home has certainly gotten more varied thanks to Glen & Friends Cooking, as we love trying out the things we learn.
Syndicate yes I totally agree. How I found Glen was when he made peanut butter sheet cake from Noreen's Kitchen. Watched another video right I watched that. Had to subscribe. Loved his videos. I really enjoy.him. Pleasant to watch.
For a minute I was worried that Julie had too many choices and almost short-circuted....;-) Loved the history lesson too, Glenn!
In Berthierville, QC, there's a place called Délices d'Antan, they make a great potato doughnut. Plain, tossed in cinnamon and sugar, dipped in hot maple syrup or dipped in honey. Eat them right away or reheat them on a grill. To die for.
True!
that sounds awesome.
I live in Quebec and I never heard of them. :/ but I will go when COVID is over for sure
Their maple syrup doughnuts are my favourite and also the reason why I watched this video.
In Pennsylvania Dutch country we eat potato doughnuts once a year, on Fastacht Day, also known as Shrove Tuesday. The doughnuts are called fastnachts.
There is a chain of donut shops called SpudNuts in southern California. The closest one is a few hours away from me, but now I can just make my own. Thanks for the video!
Someone already edited Wikipedia and cited the show ;-)
I wonder how that's going to go? Wikipedia didn't used to accept UA-cam videos as "reliable sources". Has that changed?
Update: there's already been a few additional edits and reversions, lol.
@@OptimusWombat To be fair though its not necessarily the video that's just saying it's a thing, Glen did cite a specific source which can be looked into. (The "Five Roses Cook Book")
In college they always told us to always site from reliable sources and Wikipedia wasn't one of them. 😂🤣🤣 But at this point for a potato donut 🤷♂️ Hey 🙂
My Grandmother used to own a Spudnut Shop in Longview, WA. I used to help her out at the shop when I was a young girl. I have so many great memories. I can’t wait to try this recipe.
My grandma would make spudnuts every halloween and people would come over and have a donut with apple cider. I got to help her for many years before she officially decided it became too much work at her age. This style of donut is my absolute favorite. And she also did either sugar (we threw them into a paper bag with sugar and got to shake them around to coat them) or onto a wooden spoon that we would hang over a container and pour glaze on them.
Thanks for sharing!!
My mother made potato candy which was a roll of mashed potatoes, flour, and sugar with peanut butter. I'm not sure how far that recipe goes except that it was traditional in Indiana around Christmastime
Spud nuts. Awesome.
Every time you mention the Five Roses Cookbook, I think of the time when Anne of Green Gables was trying to get published and her story kept getting rejected, so Diana inserted a small blip of using baking powder to make a cake and resubmitted it and it sold! Timing wise it doesn't actually match, but it's not far off as the final book in the series, Rilla of Ingleside, starts just before the Great War begins.
There is a farm about 2 minutes from my place that sells fresh potato donuts in their little roadside kiosk. Every time my wife sends me to get some fruits or vegetables I bring home a half dozen. So good. There’s also a food truck that posts up in the local grocery store’s parking lot for a few days at a time throughout the year. My favorite time of the year is in the late fall when it’s hovering around the freezing mark and you get in the car with the hot doughnuts and the aroma fills up the interior.
I'm with Julie, I love a cake donut and these appeal to me greatly. Wish I could taste these, might just have to make them!!
It's nice to have Canadian friends.
I made these with my great grandma when I was 13 or 14, she passed when I was 15, I never got the recipe and always wish I had so I could make them in honor of her, thank you
We have a local Spudnut Shop in Richland, WA that’s been around since 1948. Very used to hearing the term.
I was going to say I remembered them along the west coast. We left Seattle in '71 though so I wasn't sure...
The next town over, in north central Washington state, used to have doughnut shop called Spudnut. My grandmother's doughnut recipe uses potatoes, with the fried doughnuts tossed in cinnamon sugar while warm. My favorite! I make them occasionally, using her recipe.
In German communities here in Texas we can still find Spud-nuts. Lots of German families have handed down versions of this recipe. I am 60 yrs. old and I have my great grandmother Gardner's hand written wedding cookbook, written in German and later translated, with a potato doughnut recipe very similar to this one. Love them! We are German-Jewish so that might be an angle to look into.
My auntie used to make potato donuts and she always but a pinch of nutmeg. They were delicious. She also took them out of the fat with her large red handled fork and immediately gave them an extremely quick dip into boiling water to remove the fat on the outside of the donut. You really stirred up a memory for me with this recipe. Thank you.
I'm with you Julie! Cake donuts are the best. But a cruller just hits the spot sometimes!
I haven't made my Great Grandmother's potato donut recipe. Just because of all the donuts! The instructions sound the same. Now I am tempted! If you have donuts, you have friends! Lol!
We used to have a Spudnuts in my home town. Best donuts ever.
Spudnuts was a popular donut franchise in the 1960s -1970s. I believe they used potato starch instead of mashed potatoes and they used yeast. Spudnuts business model was to give 12 year olds baskets full bags that contained 1/2 dozen Spudnuts . The 12 year olds would sell donuts door to door on Saturday morning.
My mother made potato doughnuts all the time. She made extra mashed potatoes some meals just to have enough left over for doughnuts. One thing she did differently was added spices to the dough - generally cinnamon and cloves. Then when they came out of the fryer, she had us shake them in cinnamon/sugar mixture in a paper bag. Oh my they were so good! She also made cake doughnuts and risen doughnuts but I never got her recipe for those. It is so nice to have a recipe, though, for potato doughnuts.
Thank you Glen for my daily dose of sunshine, even when it's storming outside.
We had a spudnut shop where I grew up... The nutbars and the chocolate spudnuts were to die for.... miss having such a place to go
Look forward to these Sunday morning videos. These historical ones are my favorite videos of yours.
Me too its become a tradition in my home .
Made them today, they did take a little more cooking than maybe a yeast donut, but no eggs, no yeast, no failure! They were perfect and a keeper.
My 18 year old loves to cook and bake . We watch all your videos. When he saw this he was floored at the idea of potato donuts. Tonight he was bored and gave it a try. Man oh man over twenty donuts and holes . He even cut a few Maple 🍁 leaf donuts. And he loves them. They certainly are more substantial. I bet they were part of a farm hand fare. Carb energy. Interesting that one of papers that posted the recipe was from Burlingame Ks. Just miles outside of Topeka where . I grew up. Oh well enough rambling I've got to figure out where to put all the donuts 🍩.
"Time to make the donuts!"
The Holy Donut in Portland Maine makes potato donuts with lots of interesting flavours - they are truly to die for 🥰
We still have a spud-nuts location here in California . I think it was family owned until the early 2000”s, but the recipe lives on with the new owners and the donuts are great. There are two other shops that use the spud-nuts recipe, but only say that it is a family recipe. Thanks for the great video, I’m putting on my mask and heading out to donut shop now...
Really enjoy these clips. Great way to spend a Sunday morning.
Oh those Donuts look absolutely gorgeous! I am 100% going to make them soon!
Those look terrific.
Thank you for the history as well as the recipe. Also, cute sweater, Julie!
Fond childhood memories of trips that included a stop at the Spudnut shop in Hangtown (Placerville, Ca.) in what must have been the late 1950's. I remember it as being very near the historic gold rush era "hanging tree" which of course was where the "hangtown" name originated. I still pass thru Placerville infrequently and find myself looking for some remnant of that Spudnut store. There are Spudnut Donut shops remaining today with at least one in Los Angeles and one in Sacramento. I will be making some of these a soon as we buy some oil for the frying.
I grew up in a small town in Northern New Mexico called Farmington. They had a donut shop that was called “Spudnuts”. It was a favorite of mine! I spent my lunch money there more than once. Will definitely try the recipe. 👍🏼
Thanks for that bit of information. When I saw the recipe was for potato doughnuts, Spudnuts immediately came to mind. Then I thought maybe I just imagined it (memory isn't what it used to be).
They had them here in El Paso too. They would be sold by bicycle around the different neighborhoods into the 60s'.
There used to be a place called Spudnuts in Southern California too. Used ot be one of my favorite hang outs in high school and college.
@@noniefuss There were a couple in the Valley. If I recall correctly one at or near Roscoe and Sepulveda. It was still there last time I was in that area, so 99-2000. We had one up in the Antelope Valley as well. They were great, as was Foster's, but both switched to a premixed dough and their quality suffered. Still better than Winchell's or Dunkin' though.
John, I'm also from Farmington. Spudnuts are definitely a blast from the past. Spudnut shop returned to Farmington a few years ago. Not in the original location. But still so, so good.
You made Julie so happy with this one!! Also being a cake doughnut fan, I'm loving a new recipe! Thanks, Glen!
I don't frequently comment but I wanted to say that I really appreciate this channel. I'm having a blast following your adventures and the various areas of food transformation you explore.
When I was a kid, there was a donut shop franchise called Spudnuts. It was a franchise from the northern midwest to the west coast (USA). Delicious!
These are something my family has made for generations. I haven't made them lately, need to do so. They are a cherished childhood treat.
wonderful recipe!
Love your channel learning a lot
don't overlook the sour cream doughnut a true Southern favorite , slightly sweet, with a crunch to the initial bite and a bit of sour on the back of the tongue
The sour cream doughnut is far from Southern. It's Scandinavian in origin and popular in northern Minnesota and Wisconsin.
A sour cream doughnut; sounds really yummy.
@@PapagenoMF I’d say it’s regional for both the south and the north I’ve been all over America and it’s not everywhere
You do great work, man.
I love your research.
I would like to see more of that!
Hello from Australia👋🏼 love the channel, keep up the good work!
Looks good thanks for shareing
Back in the 1960s in Bangor, Maine, there was a shop named "Spudnuts" that sold the yeasted variety that were delicious!!!
Have you ever done a cake doughnut recipe ? Thanks too you both for these videos.
These look scrummy and I was so glad you said you were drawn to the molasses ones because so was i and now I'm going to watch you make them!
These look fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing with us! Love your videos! Going to give these a try!! Sprinkles rule!😆😆😋😋
I can't tell you how much I love the research that goes with these great recipes.
Same!
You made that look so easy!
They look so yummy
The sour cream doughnut recipe right next to it looks good too. One of my favorites.
Some more classic great Glen, another interesting potato recipe to try thanks Glen
Yay!!! I have been reading the LM Montgomery books and she mentions donuts all the time and I wanted a time period correct recipe. This is fabulous.
My mom made these in the 80's, I liked them at the time.
Cheers,
I’m drooling
When I was in one of my culinary classes I used to dip the plain doughnuts in preserves and it was better than the glaze we put on them. Definitely worth a try.
These are absolutely amazing! Just made these for my birthday dessert tonight.
I am so happy you did this Recipe. My grandfather used to own a donut shop in only made these kind of donuts in Massachusetts. I’ve been looking for the recipe and could never find it. I never thought to use the Wikipedia
Honestly, I gravitate to the Crullers. French Crullers are one of my top picks for doughnuts when I go to Krispy Kreme if they have them. I'd like to see you do some of those at some point.
Also someone has already attempted to update the page, I'm going to see if I can make a quick little edit. And done. Congrats, Glen. If my edit isn't reverted, this video is now immortalized in Wikipedia as a reference source.
yeah, it's there now
@@theablanca6803 Yeah, and has not been removed. The only thing I couldn't do when citing the video was put the Emoji from the title (Wikipedia doesn't like Emoji's from unregistered accounts).
@@Kinkajou1015 It may get reverted because you need to cite the newspaper article itself and not a video that references the newspaper article.
Edit: Of course that is how it should be, not sure how Wikipedia is currently, haven't used that in a long time.
@@CST-ft9dv Well there was an auto revert that was done by a bot because I linked the UA-cam video, I undid that revert because the cookbook and recipe are shown in the video itself. If Wikipedia is really THAT stuck up to not allow the video to be a source for the information, that's their loss.
It's still there
When I was in Quebec I used to find them in Metro markets !
I tried a recipe some years ago but yours seems really nice, I'm gonna try it out! Thanx Glen !
I lived in Dodge City, KS in the late 1960s. There was a donut store there called the Spudnut Shop at which my Mom and Dad treated my brother and me regularly!
Appreciate your work. Not to long but clearly explained. Wonderful.
Those look delicious
Wauuu they looks delisiosos
Those look good . I am going to make Spudnuts the version I learned from my Great Grandma ( born 1892 ) here soon . it is the yeast version she learned from her mom as a child and taught me how to make in 1978 . She lived 102 years and was very helpful in my history class homework . LOL I will also try to make these sometime . I never thought there was an easier way to make them ! LOL Thanks.
I love potato doughnuts!!! It's a staple in my family. Use the oil to make fries afterwhile, it gives them such a great taste.
I made them yesterday and they were still fresh and tasty the next day at work, everyone liked them with just powdered sugar.
Lethbridge had a donut shop called Spudnuts. Best donuts ever. Thanks for the up load and trip down memory lane.
Definitely vote for the molasses doughnuts! Thanks🌟
I don’t know how I found this channel but I LOVE it. Your channel is awesome.
Have fond memories of going to the Spudnut shop in Richland WA decades ago. Sadly not many such places are left.
I watched your video on the potato buns a couple of weeks ago and tried them and they turned out great! Were excellent split and toasted and even used them for hamburger buns, though learned to not put any moist bits right next to the bun. So, with that success, I'm excited to try this recipe out. I hope you do the yeast version as well. And have to say I love your channel. I always know that I will have what I need in the pantry. Delicious food with common ingredients. Thank you.
We live in central Ohio and everyone here talks about the good old days when you could buy doughnuts at the Spudnuts shop!! I'm excited to find the recipe!! Thanks!
Was terribly sad to hear that the Spudnuts in Amarillo Texas closed down :( my family would get tasty Spudnuts there while visiting our family. Thanks for uploading this! Gonna give it a try and see how it holds up. These were the best doughnuts I have ever tasted in my life. Lol. Peace.
Definitely gonna try this! As a kid I remember my sister making potato fudge funny what a potato can do.
Fascinated to know what you two do with so much food. I don't know if you've got family, but even if you do that's a lot of food!!
Looks great must Try. QLD Australia here. 😁
Back decades ago I use to go through El Dorado, Arkansas quite a bit and they actually had a donut shop called Spudnuts. Had to stop and get a box of holes for the trip. Good times.
I read recently that there was a serious flour shortage in Europe in the late 1790's, and at that time people started partially substituting mashed potatoes for the flour. FYI, there was a spudnut shop in Halifax in the 1950's
kind of reminds me of potato bread. that stuff is really great. I bet the spudnuts would be just as good.
Yummy, typically I like the lighter yeast donuts, but these look and sound amazing
Oh yum! I remember a few years back someone did a documentary on doughnuts and all the different doughnut places in the US I wish I could find it I thought Rick Sebeck that did a variety of fun docs such as a sandwich, ice cream and amusement part. Well one doughnut in the doc was a potato doughnut I thought it was from Idaho but I could be mistaken it may have been another state after seeing how tender they looked I always wanted to try out a recipe. I got excited when I saw your post so I can’t wait to try out this recipe! Thank you for sharing 💖
Just made these. Half batch and forgot the baking powder till after I had added the flour but they came out ok. Will be making them again. Thanks for the recipe :D
There used to be a chain of Spudnut shops. Today, only a very few independent Spudnut shops remain.
I am going to try this one for sure. I love a cake doughnut....maybe a bit of cinnamon sugar on it. My Mom used to make a drop doughnut that had a hint of nutmeg in the cake. I have never found a recipe for that and I have no idea where she got the recipe. Thanks so much for this one. Have a Blessed day.
When I was somewhere between 7 and 10, the town I lived in, in Hobbs New Mexico (USA), had a spudnut shop. They were delicious! That was many years ago!
My favorite doughnut at Timmy's is by far, the old fashion sour cream :) My mother-in-law makes potato doughnuts every year and freezes a batch for Christmas gatherings. They are as good as when she first baked them.
I just watched your video this morning. After you mentioned Wikipedia I had to go see if the info had been updated and it had. It was very interesting to read.
I just made yeasted potato donuts on mother's day! Very interesting
WOW!! Never heard of spud 🥔 doughnuts definitely going to make these for myself 😋 👍 I hate the other sort of doughnuts 🍩 Happy days are coming for me yummy 🤤 thanks for the spudnut 😍
Sour cream donuts sound VERY interesting to me!
There is a Spudnuts shop in town that I should be supporting! Thanks for the reminder.
