Irish Potato Biscuits
Print Friendly and PDF
Ingredients
6 to 8 potatoes
1 cup milk or cream
1 tablespoon melted butter
salt, to taste
1/2 cup self-rising flour (approximately)
Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Boil and mash the potatoes, making sure they are free of lumps. Add the milk, butter, and salt. Add just enough flour to make a soft dough, then lay it on a floured board and roll out quickly and lightly to a half-inch sheet. Cut into rounds; bake about 10 minutes, or until just crisp on the outside. Butter and eat before they fall.

Hello!
What if you already have homemade mashed potatoes with butter, cream cheese and milk already added to it? Can that be used as well, or is it not recommended? If so, what adjustments should I make? Thanks!

Hi, Amy. If the mashed potatoes didn’t have cream cheese in them, we would say go ahead and use them and just add the called for flour.

Question----
Can these biscuits be "dropped" or do they have to be rolled and cut with a biscuit cutter

Hi, Arlene. We definitely recommend rolling and cutting these biscuits.
