THE BEST OLD-FASHIONED DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, 1 1/4 teaspoons of the salt and the nutmeg in a large bowl until completely combined. Whisk together 2/3 cup of the buttermilk, the sour cream, eggs, yolks, 1 tablespoon of the vanilla paste and the oil in a medium bowl until completely combined. Fold the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients just until a soft and sticky dough comes together (do not overwork).
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and liberally dust with flour (about 1/3 cup).
• Scrape the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Dust your hands and the top of the dough with more flour, then gently pat the dough to 3/4-inch thick.
• Working on the baking sheet, punch out as many rounds as you can with a 3 1/4-inch cutter. Then use a 1 1/4-inch cutter to punch out the center of each round. Dip the cutters in flour before each cut to avoid sticking. Gather the dough scraps and gently re-roll without overworking the dough. Repeat cutting until all the dough has been used (you should have 8 doughnuts).
• Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet and line a second rimmed baking sheet with several layers of paper towels. Fit a large heavy pot with a deep-fry thermometer and pour in oil to a depth of 3 inches. Heat over medium-high until the thermometer registers 375 degrees F.
• Fry the doughnuts in batches until deep golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to the wire rack and let cool slightly. Fry the doughnut holes until deep golden brown, about 90 seconds per side. Transfer to the wire rack and let drain for 1 minute. Then transfer to the paper-towel lined baking sheet to cool for 10 minutes before glazing. (This two-step process gets a lot more oil out of the doughnuts than using only one method.) Repeat with the remaining dough, making sure the oil returns to temperature between batches.
• Whisk together the confectioners' sugar, the remaining 6 tablespoons buttermilk, the remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla paste and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until the glaze is smooth and the consistency of honey; add more confectioners' sugar or buttermilk if necessary.
• Dip each doughnut into the glaze on one side (we like the craggy side, it has more texture for an appetizing appearance), letting the excess drip back into the bowl, then return it to the wire rack. Toss the doughnut holes in the glaze to coat completely and return to the wire rack. Let the glaze set for 10 minutes before serving.

• Add potatoes and let fry for about 2 minutes or until they start to get golden on the bottom.
• Cover the pan and reduce heat to medium. Allow to steam for about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove cover and turn the heat back up to medium high. Flip the potatoes. Fry for a minute or two, or until the bottom layer begins to get golden.

• Add the onion and peppers plus any seasonings you'd like on your potatoes.

SOUTHERN FRIED POTATOES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Place a heavy 9" cast iron skillet over medium heat (just a little more than medium on my electric stove).
• Pour oil into the skillet and add the butter as well. Allow this to heat until the oil is shimmery on the surface - not smoking - if it starts to smoke, pull it off the heat and let it cool some until it is shimmery again.
• Cut up the potatoes into pieces that are the same size - chips or cubes - your choice.
• As you cut, place into 4 cups of water that has 2 Tbs of salt mixed in.
• Cut up onion into bigger chunks than you cut the potato.
• After 5 minutes, drain the potato VERY WELL and dry with paper towels
• When the oil is ready (shimmery) put the potato and the onion into the oil. Do not crowd the potatoes. If there isn't enough room for them to lay side by side, then let some cook, remove them to drain on a paper towel and then cook the rest.
• Cook for about 4 minutes on one side then flip and cook for another 2-4 minutes on the other side.
• Drain on a paper towel. Salt and pepper as soon as you remove from the oil
• Garnish and serve hot.
