Yeasted Potato Biscuits image

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 were a bit too dense for my taste.

Not bad, but not my favorite biscuit recipe.

These were easy to make and turned out great! I used mashed sweet potato instead of regular potato and they were a hit.

I loved the texture of these biscuits. They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, just the way I like them.

These biscuits were absolutely delicious! They were so soft and fluffy, and the potato flavor was just perfect. I will definitely be making these again.
