Idaho® potato biscuits with rosemary and Parmesan are tender and full of flavor. These savory biscuits would be a perfect complement to a bowl of soup.
Ingredients:
- 2 medium Idaho® russet potatoes, or 1 large
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, grated and frozen
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (8.5oz)
- 1 ½ tablespoons baking powder (aluminum-free)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 2 teaspoons dried rosemary)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons whole milk
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425°F (400° with convection fan).
- Peel Idaho® Russet potatoes and cut into 2˝ pieces.
- Add potatoes to a medium pot filled with cold water. Bring to a boil and simmer until potatoes are easily pierced with a knife, about 12 minutes.
- While potatoes are cooking, grate butter using a box grater. Use the side with the largest holes. Place grated butter in the freezer.
- Drain potatoes and press through a potato ricer. Lay the potatoes out on a baking sheet to cool. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and rosemary.
- Add cooled potatoes to flour mixture and toss with your fingers to combine.
- Reserve 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese for tops of biscuits, set aside. Add remaining cheese to flour mixture.
- Add frozen butter to flour mixture and using your fingers, lightly toss the mixture until combined.
- Make a well in the center and add ½ cup milk. Stir with a fork until a crumbly dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat it out until it is about ½” thick. Fold it over and pat it out once more until it is roughly ½” thick.
- Using a biscuit cutter or cookie cutter, cut out biscuits by pushing straight down, do not twist. Place biscuits on parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush tops with remaining milk and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 12–14 minutes, rotating pan halfway through.
Chef’s notes:
Biscuits are best on the day they are made. To freeze: store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
