I always add 1 or 2 teaspoons of citric acid (sour salt) to my latkes. It keeps the potatoes from turning an ugly grey inside!
Here's my sufganiot recipe ... guaranteed delicious!
SUFGANIOT (JELLY DONUTS)
INGREDIENTS:
5 cups King Arthur all-purpose flour
1 package dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 stick softened butter
3 eggs
1-1/4 cups milk, warmed
1 teaspoon vanilla
red raspberry (or other) jelly
confectioners sugar
cooking oil – for deep frying
In a medium-size bowl, mix the flour, yeast, cinnamon, and nutmeg together. Set aside.
Using a stand mixer, cream the sugar, salt, and butter together.
Add the eggs, one at a time, blending well.
Add the warm milk and vanilla. Continue mixing.
Add the flour mixture gradually to the creamed ingredients, to form a smooth dough of medium consistency.
Brush dough with cooking oil. Cover and set in a warm place to rise until doubled in bulk.
Punch the dough down. Place it on a lightly floured board and form into a tight roll about one inch in diameter.
Slice into 16 equal slices. Place them on a flour-dusted pan. Cover with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and set in a warm place to rise again.
Deep fry 4–6 at a time in medium-hot oil until light brown. Drain on paper towels.
When the sufganiot are completely cool, squeeze jelly into them with a pastry bag or cookie press by inserting the tip of the tube into the side of each sufganiah.
Sift confectioners sugar over the completed sufganiot.
