Instructions
- Bring a large pan of water to the boil, add the potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, until tender. Drain really well and then mash. Stir in the FRANK'S RedHot® Buffalo Wings Sauce, ham, onions, cheese and peas with 1 tbs of the flour and season with salt and pepper. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
- Dust the work surface with some of the flour. Tip the potato mix onto the floured surface and shape into a round circle, about 10cm thick. Dust the top with more flour and cut out circles with an 8cm cutter and then cut a hole in the middle with a smaller cutter – we used a 3cm. Reshape the excess and cut more doughnuts. Place on a baking tray lined with parchment and chill for 20 minutes to firm up.
- Whilst the doughnuts chill, combine the salsa ingredients and set aside. Crack the egg onto a shallow plate and beat, and place the breadcrumbs on another plate. Heat the oil to 180°C (350°F), if using a pan do not fill more than half way up. Dip each doughnut in the egg and then the breadcrumbs. Fry the doughnuts in batches for 2 minutes, flip them over and fry for another minute until golden all over, before scooping them out onto kitchen paper to drain.
- Meanwhile, combine all the salsa ingredients together in a bowl and set aside. When your doughnuts are ready, serve them with the tasty salsa!
