Pretty good but a bit bland. Used butter i/o shortening and still needed to add butter when eating them. Needs another ingredient to make it a five-star recipe. Will try brown i/o white sugar next time.

This is an excellent sweet potato biscuit recipe. I made these for Thanksgiving 2012 and again for New Year's Eve dinner 2012. I doubled the recipe the second go round because everyone loved them. I did make one small change in the recipe: I added about 1/4 cup brown sugar to the recipe to give it a little sweeter taste. They seem to get better each time I make them.

This worked out ok. Nothing spectacular. My husband liked them. I subbed butter and margarine for the shortening. I only had about a half teaspoon of butter and the rest of the 2 tablespoons i used margarine. I dont bake often so this is out of my comfort level. Good enough.

My grand kids love these...there were so easy to prepare and were light and flaky..I added a little more butter in that No vegetable shortiening was available... I used 3/4 stick of butter chilled and cut into cubes..it make for a more flakier dough and also added a little more of the sweet potato to give it more flavor...thanks for the recipe!

I thought this was a good base recipe. I did substitute Buttermilk for the milk and added some sharp cheddar cheese & chives to the mixture. I also used butter and not shortening (just personal preference!) They turned out fabulous. I served them with thick cut ham slices and apple butter! Yummy!

Delicious. I licked the dough off my fingers after mixing it! I patted out balls of the dough instead of rolling and cutting and that worked well for me.

Great recipe! Wish I had cut back on the salt, as recommended. I used coconut oil instead of shortening, half of the flour was whole wheat, and I laid them out on the pan with sides touching to keep them soft. The texture is marvelous and the flavor a fun change. Can't wait to enjoy them with syrup for breakfast. I made the batch multiplied by ten to use up potatoes, so it even works in bulk, and my six and four-year-old sons helped roll them out and they still were flaky and tender!

I added some cinnamon and brown sugar when I made these and they were great. I put some raisins in about half of them and they added a nice texture. Highly recommend them!

Really yummy biscuit, but don't expect a huge sweet potato flavor. I used a fresh, mashed sweet potato and before I incorporated it into the flour mixture, I mixed in a little brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter to give it an extra bit of sweetness. Although the biscuits don't really taste sweet-potatoey, they are still really good and the sweet potato gives them a really nice texture. I slathered some store bought cinnamon butter (country crock) right on top and OH MY GOSH. AAMAZINGGG. I highly recommend doing this. It transformed the flavor. Made it a million times better.
