I'm not a big fan of sweet potatoes, but these biscuits were surprisingly good. The sweet potato flavor was not too strong, and the biscuits were light and fluffy.

I used mashed sweet potatoes instead of canned, and the biscuits were still very good.

I added a little bit of cinnamon and nutmeg to the biscuit dough, and it gave them a really nice flavor.
