How to prepare: Staples
In the bowl of the planetary mixer, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, sugar and yeast. Knead with the leaf hook until the mixture is homogeneous. While the mixer is in action, add the egg, grappa and grated lemon zest.
When the dough begins to be composed and well blended, mount the hook and continue to knead, adding the soft butter a little at a time, waiting for it to be well incorporated before adding more. Transfer the dough (it will be a bit sticky) on a well floured pastry board, rework it briefly with your hands and transfer it to a bowl. Let it rise, covered with cling film, until doubled (about 1 hour and 30 – 2 hours).
Turn the dough over onto a floured pastry board, take out small portions and form cords with your hands about 15 cm in diameter and 1 finger thick. Join the two ends and form donuts.
Let the staples rise on a floured pastry board, covered with a damp cloth for about 1 hour.
Fry the staples, a few at a time, in hot oil at 170-180 °. When they are golden brown, drain them with a slotted spoon, dry them with absorbent paper and pass them in granulated sugar to cover them.
The staples are ready to be served!
