Biscuits - Leftover Mashed Potato Biscuits

A little about categorizing bread. Our system is not scientific by a long shot. We've placed them into table, flat, dessert, and fried. Table bread may include loaves of sandwich-type bread or something designed to serve as a loaf or dinner bun at the table. Flat is generally un-yeasted bread that is flat (duh!). Fried can be pan-fried or deep-fried. Dessert is for delectables such as banana bread. The words dressing and stuffing are interchangeable, depending where you live. Many will contain bread, others may not. This is dizzying.

Biscuits - Leftover Mashed Potato Biscuits

Post by Chowhound »

Potato-Rolls_1_680.gif
2 cups white whole-wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup butter melted
3/4 cup leftover mashed potato see notes
1 cup buttermilk
1 tbsp chopped chives (optional)
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees . Sift together the flour and baking powder into the bowl of an electric mixer, or a large bowl if mixing by hand. Add in the melted butter, mashed potato and buttermilk and mix well until combined and a soft dough has formed and the dough clears the sides of the bowl. Add more flour if needed (but it should be a little bit sticky). Pop the dough onto a floured surface and shape into a rough square, about 1cm tall. Cut 9 squares out of the dough and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 18 minutes, until golden brown on top. Serve straight from the oven with lashings of fresh butter and some honey. Or wait until morning, toast up and serve with some jam/jelly.
