- Incorporate the mashed potatoes, butter, and salt, mixing thoroughly until a homogeneous dough forms.
- Gradually add the wheat flour while kneading by hand until the dough becomes smooth and no longer sticks to your fingers.
- Cover the dough and let it rest in a warm place for 20 minutes to rise.
- Shape the dough into small balls, place them on a baking sheet, and allow them to rise again for 20 minutes.

- Allow the fried dough to cool completely, cut them in half, fill with the prepared cream, and finish by dusting with sugar.
Observations
The 'sonho' is an essential staple of Brazilian patisserie. The secret to this recipe lies in the dough made with mashed boiled potatoes, which provides an exceptionally soft and airy texture. Prepare the pastry cream in advance so that it sets firmly before you begin filling the doughnuts.
For a flawless result, ensure the oil is not excessively hot during frying to prevent the centers from remaining raw. The final dusting of sugar provides the iconic finishing touch that everyone loves.
