Ingredients
Scale
- 5 Gold Potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 2 tsp Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Onion, minced
- 1-2 tbsp Parmesan, grated and/or crumbled
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) Milk
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Pepper
- Cooking Spray
- Zip lock bag or piping bag
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Fill a large pot with water, about halfway up the pot, set over high heat to bring to a boil. Peel and chop the potatoes, add to the boiling water and cook until fork tender.
- Chop the onion and garlic. Grate the cheese. Once the potatoes are done, drain the water and add the potatoes to a mixing bowl.
- Start to whip the potatoes on medium speed adding in the butter first, then the onions, garlic, parmesan, salt and pepper, and finally the milk. Turn the speed up high and whip for a minute until fluffy.
- Spray the donut pan with cooking spray and set aside. Spoon the potatoes into a piping bag or ziplock bag with the end cut off. Pipe two rings in each cup and lightly press down to push together.
- Bake for 25 minutes. To get them out of the pan you can try tilting it to get them to fall out or gently encourage them out with a fork.
- Enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a doughnut pan specifically, or can I use another pan?
A doughnut pan is required to create the ring shape — that’s the defining piece of equipment for this recipe. The mashed potato mixture is piped into the pan’s ring-shaped cups using a piping bag or a zip-lock bag with the corner cut off, then baked at 350°F for 25 minutes.
How do I get the rings out of the pan without breaking them?
The recipe acknowledges this is tricky — it suggests tilting the pan to let the rings fall out, or gently encouraging them out with a fork. Spraying the pan well with cooking spray before filling is the best prevention.
