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!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- 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.
- 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.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until bottoms are golden.

HOMEMADE SWEET POTATO BISCUITS
Make life a little sweeter by adding this versatile root vegetables to your next batch of biscuits: sweet potatoes!

Steps:
- Cut the sweet potatoes into 1 1/2-inch slices. Place the potato slices in a medium saucepan, and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until potatoes are tender. Drain and mash well.
- In the detached bowl of an electric mixer, whisk yeast, 1/4 cup warm water (105 degrees), and a pinch of sugar. Set the mixture aside until foamy, about 6 minutes. Attach bowl to mixer fitted with the dough-hook attachment. On low speed, add mashed potatoes, milk, 1/2 cup melted butter, eggs, sugar, and salt. Slowly add flour to make a slightly sticky dough. Knead until smooth, about 2 minutes. Brush inside of a mixing bowl with butter. Place dough in bowl; cover with buttered plastic wrap. Set aside to rise until doubled in size, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Line 3 large baking sheets with parchment. Using a floured rolling pin on a floured work surface, roll dough out to 3/4 inch thickness. Cut rounds of dough as close together as possible with a 2 1/4-inch round cookie cutter. Scraps can be re-rolled once. Place rounds 1 to 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Brush the tops with the remaining butter; cover with plastic wrap. Set aside to rise until light and they do not spring back when pressed with a finger, about 30 minutes.

Tips:
- Use a quality baking potato. This will ensure that your biscuits are light and fluffy.
- Boil the potatoes ahead of time. This will make the dough easier to work with.
- Be sure to measure your flour correctly. Too much flour will make the biscuits dry and tough.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour, which will make the biscuits tough.
- Roll out the dough to the desired thickness. The thickness of the biscuits will affect the baking time.
- Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown. Overbaking will make the biscuits dry and crumbly.
- Serve the biscuits warm. Freshly baked biscuits are always the best!
