Biscuits Recipe ✓ Tender Potato Biscuits

These tender potato biscuits are great to use up those leftover mashed potatoes! We like them for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

Ingredients

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup sugar
• ¼ cup butter or margarine
• 1 ½ cups leftover mashed potatoes
• 1 egg, beaten
• ⅓ cup cold water
• ⅓ cup milk
• 2 tablespoons milk, or as needed

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in butter, until pieces of butter are no larger than peas. Use a fork to stir in mashed potatoes, breaking them up into chunks. Make a well in the mixture, and pour in egg, water and milk. Stir into a loose dough using the fork.
3. Turn dough out onto a floured surface, and knead for 6 or 8 times so the dough holds together. Pat the dough out to about 3/4 inch thickness, and cut into circles with a biscuit cutter or drinking glass. Place biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet. Brush the tops with 2 tablespoons milk.
4. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until bottoms are golden.
