CHEDDAR CHIVE POTATO BISCUITS

CHEDDAR CHIVE POTATO BISCUITS 3 cup all-purpose flour 2 Tbsp granulated sugar 1 1/2 Tbsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp garlic salt 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed plus 2 Tbsp melted 1/2 cup cold buttermilk 1 large egg, beaten 1 1/2 cup leftover mashed potatoes 2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese 1/4 cup chopped chives Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spritz with cooking spray. Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, garlic salt and onion powder. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs. Beat the egg with the buttermilk. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Use a fork to work the liquid into the flour using a circular motion. Keep mixing until the flour is nearly moistened then mix in the mashed potatoes using the same technique. After everything has combined, the dough will look a little lumpy Add the shredded cheese and chopped chives. Mix until fully combined. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead several times until the dough holds together. Roll to ½-inch thickness and use a 3-inch biscuit cutter or glass dipped in flour to cut into circles. Re-roll the scraps and repeat until all of the dough has been used. Place the dough rounds onto the baking sheet and brush the tops with melted butter. Bake for 17-20 minutes or until the tops and bottoms are lightly golden. Serve warm.
