Sweet Potato Biscuits
Sweet Potatoes are one of the most versatile vegetables around. You can use them for everything from soup to
When I was growing up my Mother made candied sweet potatoes every Thanksgiving. I never tasted them. I was a kid and sweet potatoes just seemed too orange to me and possibly even too healthy. They were foreign and I was not going to eat anything that might even be remotely associated with them.
Fast forward to now. I love sweet potatoes and so do my boys. I love to bake them, fry them, mash them and eat them….often.
I found my Mom’s Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe (you can get it here) after she passed away and made it for Thanksgiving the following year and that started my love affair with this delicious vegetable. Now I make my Mom’s casserole every year and to keep up with my sweet potato passion I’m always on the lookout for new ways to add them to some of my family’s favorite recipes hence the reason I’m sharing these fluffy and fabulous sweet potato biscuits. They are so easy to make and you will get raves and requests to make them again and again.
