These Cheddar and Herb Potato Drop Biscuits are a delightful twist on the classic biscuit, incorporating mashed potatoes for a tender texture and a blend of cheddar and herbs for a flavorful bite.
Boil the potatoes in a medium saucepan until tender, about 10 minutes.
Ensure the potatoes are fully cooked to make mashing easier.
Drain the potatoes and mash them until slightly smooth. Measure out 2 cups and let cool.
Cooling the potatoes prevents them from cooking the eggs in the dough.
Preheat the oven to 450°F and prepare a cookie sheet with non-stick spray.
Preheating ensures the biscuits bake evenly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cheddar cheese, and parsley.
Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the ingredients.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, and oil.
Whisking ensures a smooth mixture for better incorporation.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, then fold in the mashed potatoes.
Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Use a spoon or ice cream scoop for even portions.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Check for a golden color to ensure they're done.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious biscuits.
Pair with butter or a savory spread for extra flavor.
