    Hi Guys! We have more biscuits for you today because it’s Monday and I need something really awesome to keep me going this week. I love sweet potatoes….everything about them. I love their creamy texture, with the hints of natural sweetness they carry…so good. I love cooking with them, but more so I love love love baking with them. When you bake with potatoes it’s like adding instant moisture to whatever it is you’re making. We made these guys a little while back and they’re one of my favorite kinds of doughnuts….with the cutest name, Spudnut! Super cute, right? Not only does baking with sweet potato add a smooth texture and tons of moisture, but they also add a gorgeous orange tinge to whatever it is you’re making as well.

    Anyways, back to these Sweet Potato & Rosemary Biscuits. I love them. Really. They don’t rise quite like regular biscuits because I’ve added so much potato to this (for fluffier biscuits scale back on the sweet potato and add more flour), but they taste amazing! The rosemary is just an added bonus that go really well with the sweet potato. These are best eaten plain, with a schmear of butter or dipped in a nice, thick soup or chowder, like this one! Enjoy! xx, Jenny

    Here are some delicious soup recipes you might like to serve this rosemary biscuit with: 

    Bowls of tortellini, turkey sausage, sweet potato, and kale soup with spoons.

      I love sweet potatoes but I don’t think I’ve used rosemary in anything before. These would probably be go well with bacon and eggs or ham or bbq ribs. Great, now I have a craving for some…

      I love sweet potato and rosemary together. These look like they would be so good with a little drizzle of honey.

      I’ve been on a sweet potato bender lately, but I’ve yet to get rosemary involved. These look amazing!

      Wow. I grew up hating sweet potatoes, but am coming to the realization that I have been misled all my life. Thanks for the recipe!
