When it comes to Thanksgiving, I most look forward to eating sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes and stuffing. The carb overload is enough to put me in a coma afterwards but they are comfort foods on a special day of the year. My favorite way to enjoy sweet potatoes are mashed with some butter, salt and pepper. With so much natural flavor, I’ve never seen the need to add anything additional.

How to Make Sweet Potato Biscuits

I love homemade biscuits fresh from the oven. Nothing beats the taste of hot biscuits with melted butter. So good! With this recipe you’ll need just under a cup of cooked and mashed sweet potato. This is a great way to use up any leftovers. You’ll also need an electric mixture to whip the sweet potatoes and milk until smooth. You can cut the cold butter in with a pastry blender by hand but using a food processor makes this step extra easy.

Sweet Potato Biscuit Hack:

If you don’t have biscuit cutters you can use a custard cup instead to cut these biscuits. It works!

This tastes so good with the sweetness of the potato and cinnamon.
