Spudnuts
1 large potato, peeled, cooked and mashed, cooled to room temperature 1 egg, beaten 1/2 cup sugar (or more, to taste) 1 teaspoon baking powder 3 to 4 tablespoons cocoa 1/2 cup flour, more if necessary Oil for deep frying
Mix potato, egg, sugar, baking powder and cocoa. Add most of the flour, then begin adding enough flour in small amounts to form a sticky dough. Roll into balls the size of large marbles (or average cherry tomatoes). Heat oil deep enough to float the balls. Ease balls into the hot oil and fry, stirring gently, for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until outsides are crisped. Drain on paper towels. When balls are cooled to lukewarm, shake in a bag with powdered sugar.
