Ingredients

  • ¾ cup Idaho® Russet potato cooked and riced, about 2 medium potatoes, or 1 large // about 150 g
  • 6 tbsp. unsalted butter grated and frozen // 86 g
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour // 245 g
  • 1 ½ tbsp. baking powder aluminum-free
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • ½ tsp. black pepper
  • 2 tbsp. fresh rosemary finely chopped (or 2 tsp. dried rosemary)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese divided // 50 g
  • ½ + 2 tbsp. cup whole milk // 115 g

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F // 400° with convection fan // 200°C // Gas mark 6.
  • Peel Russet potatoes and cut into 2-inch pieces.
  • Add potatoes to a medium pot filled with cold water. Bring to a boil and simmer until potatoes are easily pierced with a knife, about 12 minutes.
  • While potatoes are cooking, grate butter using a box grater. Use the side with the largest holes. Place grated butter in the freezer.
  • Drain potatoes and press through a potato ricer. Lay the potatoes out on a baking sheet to cool. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, pepper and rosemary.
  • Add cooled, riced potatoes to flour mixture and using your fingers, lightly toss the mixture until combined.
  • Reserve 2 tbsp. of Parmesan for tops of biscuits, set aside. Add remaining cheese to flour mixture.
  • Add frozen butter to flour mixture, and using your fingers, lightly toss the mixture until combined. (*work quickly, you don't want the butter to get too soft)
  • Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add 1/2 cup milk. Stir with a fork until a crumbly dough forms.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat it out until it is about 1/2" thick. Fold it over (like a book) and pat it out once more until it is roughly 1/2" thick.
  • Using a round cutter (cookie cutter, biscuit cutter, drinking glass, etc.), cut biscuits out by pushing straight down, DO NOT TWIST.
  • Place biscuits on parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush tops with remaining milk and sprinkle with remaining parmesan,
  • Bake for 12 - 14 minutes, rotating pan halfway through baking time.

Notes

For extra rosemary flavor, add a bit of rosemary on top of biscuits.
Biscuits are best the day they are made.
To freeze: store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
