Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 1 cup mashed potatoes (cooled, unsalted)
• 0.5 cup milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the mashed potatoes, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 5

Gradually pour the milk into the bowl, stirring gently with a fork or wooden spoon until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 3-4 times until it comes together.

Step 7

Pat the dough into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Use a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits, re-rolling the scraps as needed.

Step 8

Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between them.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
