The potato combined with the yeast makes them feather light and tender, with a yummy fragrance! These do require rising time. Prep time includes rising time. Adapted from Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone by Deborah Madison.

Time 2h20m

Yield 10 2" biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 envelope)
1/2 cup buttermilk (or other milk)
2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup warmed mashed potatoes (about 1 medium potato)
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or bread flour)
beaten egg, milk or cream, for glazing

Steps:

  • Stir the yeast into 1/4 cup warm water in a small bowl and set aside. Slowly warm the buttermilk with the butter and sugar in a small pan(buttermilk may curdle, but it will smooth out in the end).
  • When the butter has melted, pour the liquid into a bowl and beat in the potatoes, salt, 1/4 cup of the flour, and the proofed yeast. Cover and let stand until light and foamy, about 30 minutes.
  • Stir in the remaining flour until no more can be added easily, then knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk, 45-60 minutes.
  • Turn it out, then roll into a circle about 1/3" thick and cut into 2" rounds. Place on a lightly greased sheet pan, cover, and let rise again until nearly doubled, 45-60 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400*F.
  • Brush the biscuits with the beaten egg(or milk or cream) and bake until the biscuits are golden, about 20 minutes. Enjoy!

These biscuits were a little bland for my taste. I think I would add some more herbs or spices next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and my biscuits turned out flat and dense. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These biscuits were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more milk or butter next time.

I've made these biscuits several times now and they are always a hit. They are so easy to make and they always turn out perfectly. I love the way the potatoes give them a slightly chewy texture.

I made these biscuits with mashed sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes. They turned out great! They were even lighter and fluffier than the original recipe.

These biscuits were a little denser than I expected, but they were still very good. I liked the flavor of the potatoes and the herbs. I would probably add a little more butter next time.

I'm not usually a fan of potato biscuits, but these were really good. They were light and airy, with a nice crispy crust. I would definitely make them again.

These biscuits were amazing! I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly. I served them with some melted butter and honey and they were gone in minutes.

I've tried many potato biscuit recipes, but this one is by far the best. The dough was easy to work with and the biscuits turned out perfectly golden brown. They were so delicious that I couldn't stop eating them.

These potato biscuits were a hit! They were light and fluffy, with a slightly crispy exterior. The flavor was perfect, with just the right amount of garlic and herbs. I will definitely be making these again.
