Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare 18 muffin cups: Smear each cup liberally with bacon fat or butter to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Mix together the mashed potatoes, buttermilk, melted butter, brown sugar, and molasses. Stir until smooth and mix in eggs , one at a time until the mixture is mostly free of lumps. Add your dry ingredients and mix to combine, try to avoid overmixing.

Step 3

Fill prepared muffin cups about half full with spudnut batter. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. (or until a toothpick, or the tip of a knife, inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean)

Step 4

As soon as the muffins are cool enough to handle, transfer them to a cooling rack. (This prevents soggy bottoms)

Step 5

Combine your cinnamon-sugar topping, and melt your butter for dipping. Once the muffins are cool enough to handle, dip them, top side down into the melted butter, (or brush the tops liberally with a pastry brush) Dip the buttery tops in your cinnamon sugar mixture. Serve warm, Enjoy!
