Cook time: 12 min
Total time: 22 min
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1 cup sweet potatoes mashed homemade or storebought; 2 tablespoons brown sugar; 2 1/4 cups flour; 1 tablespoon baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon baking soda; 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, parsley); 1 teaspoon granulated garlic powder; 1 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon black pepper; 6 tablespoons cold butter, diced; 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese; 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese; 2/3 cup buttermilk or whole milk

These delicious Sweet Potato Cheddar Garlic Biscuits are the perfect accompaniment with any poultry any time of the year and being a drop biscuit a total time saver.

These have such a great cheddar, herb, and garlic flavor and really can be served with chili, or any meats, and are perfect even with an outdoor barbecue.

I love the hint of sweetness in these and the tender texture with the addition of cheddar that keeps them moist inside and not dry.

Although a drop biscuit and super easy, I prefer to bake them in muffin tins or even for appetizers into mini muffin tins.

Leftover sweet potatoes mashed are perfect for these and in a pinch, you can even microwave one and mash it with a fork just to make this faster.

Butter them, eat them plain or they're even great adding some cranberry sauce with leftover turkey from thanksgiving to make a biscuit sandwich.

Our family just loves homemade biscuits big yeast rolls. pizza dough, Italian Ciabatta bread, and fried dough.
