Going for the Gold #3

Only the one recipe for you today, but it's a winner.  Mashed potato BISCUITS!  Even the name sends your mind and your mouth to wonderful places.  We served them with roasted chicken and broccoli, but honestly they would be good with most meals including with soups.  They would be a fantastic thing to bring to a pot-luck or a dinner or a holiday meal (probably best for Thanksgiving) because they are easy to make, delicious, and don't take away from the main course.

Ingredients:
1 cup cool mashed potatoes (I used one large potato)
1 cup bread flour

3 tbsp baking powder
A little less than a tsp salt
3 tbsp butter
1/2 cup milk

Instructions:
Put water on to boil while you peel potatoes and cut into small wedges
Add the wedges to the water and boil until tender
Strain water and mash potatoes using a little butter for moisture
Let sit for about an hour to cool
While waiting, put 1 cup bread flour, 3 tbsp baking powder, and a little less than a tsp salt into a medium sized bowl
Mix with a fork until smooth then set aside
When mashed potatoes are cool melt the butter in a mug until almost entirely melted
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees
Pour butter into dry ingredients and mix (it will be clumpy)
Add 1 cup mashed potatoes and mix
Add 1/2 cup milk (whole or as close to whole as you can is better)
And mix to make a soft batter
On a floured surface knead for 15 seconds then roll out into 1/2 inch thick dough
Use a cookie cutter or glass to make biscuit rounds
Put on baking sheet and place in the oven for 9 minutes (time may vary so check at 7 mins the first time that you make them)
Serve hot!
