Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (mashed, skin-on) Red potatoes
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup (cold, diced) Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup Chopped fresh chives
- 0.75 cup Buttermilk
- 1 large (beaten) Egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and dice the red potatoes if desired. Boil in salted water until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain, mash with a fork or potato masher (leaving skin on if preferred), and set aside to cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the cold, diced butter into the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour mixture until pea-sized crumbs form.
Fold the mashed red potatoes, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped chives into the flour and butter mixture until evenly distributed.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and beaten egg. Gradually pour this mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until a sticky dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a large spoon or an ice cream scoop, drop portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each biscuit.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the biscuits to cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
