Potato Rye Griddle Biscuits Recipes

TENDER POTATO BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in butter, until pieces of butter are no larger than peas. Use a fork to stir in mashed potatoes, breaking them up into chunks. Make a well in the mixture, and pour in egg, water and milk. Stir into a loose dough using the fork.
• Turn dough out onto a floured surface, and knead for 6 or 8 times so the dough holds together. Pat the dough out to about 3/4 inch thickness, and cut into circles with a biscuit cutter or drinking glass. Place biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet. Brush the tops with 2 tablespoons milk.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until bottoms are golden.

BOXTY (IRISH POTATO GRIDDLE CAKES)

Steps:

• Grate raw potatoes and mix with the cooked mashed potatoes.
• Add salt, pepper and flour.
• Beat egg and add to mixture with just enough milk to make a batter that will drop from a spoon.
• Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a hot griddle or frying pan.
• Cook over a moderate heat for 3-4 minutes on each side.

BAKED-POTATO BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside.
• Cook the potato in a microwave, an oven, or in boiling water until almost fork-tender (see Cooks' Note). Let cool completely. Using a paring knife, peel the potato, and then shred with a box grater.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pepper. Add the cold butter and cut in using 2 knives, a pastry blender, potato masher, or your hands, until the dough resembles coarse crumbs the size of peas. Fold in the cheese, chives, and shredded potato.
• Add the buttermilk and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough just comes together. It'll be sticky, but don't panic. Transfer to a well-floured work surface and knead a few times to smooth it out. Fold the dough onto itself about 4 times, turning clockwise after each fold. Pat the dough with your hands until it's about 3/4 inch thick.
• Use a 2-inch round cookie or biscuit cutter to cut into rounds. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking pan just barely touching each other. Gather scraps and repeat patting and cutting (you should have 20).
• Brush the biscuits with the melted butter, and bake until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

POTATO-RYE GRIDDLE BISCUITS

Steps:

• Combine the first 5 (dry) ingredients plus the optional caraway seeds in a mixing bowl and stir together. Make a well in the center and add the mashed potato, rice milk, and oil. Work together, first with a spoon and then with your hands, adding just enough rice milk to form a smooth, soft dough. Add just a bit more flour if the dough seems too sticky to handle.
• Divide the dough into 3 or 4 parts and roll each out to 1/4-inch thickness on a floured board. Cut the dough into 2-inch rounds with a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass. Knead together the leftover dough, roll out, and cut until all the dough has been used up.
• Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet that has been sprayed with cooking oil spray. Cook each round over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until golden. Serve warm.
