These biscuits are a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. I always have a few sweet potatoes lying around and now I know what to do with them!

I'm not a huge fan of sweet potatoes, but I loved these biscuits. The sweet potato flavor is subtle and not overpowering. I will definitely be making these again.
