Sweet Potato Biscuits Recipe
This recipe for Sweet Potato Biscuits may become your favorite choice to fill up that bread basket with for any meal time.
Over the course of the past two years our vegetable garden has gradually gone down hill by mid summer, transforming from a beautiful green thriving spot to a weedy jungle. Between traveling, extreme heat and lack of rain, (and less stamina than my farming forbearers) it becomes unmanageable and quite overwhelming by June. So for this year, we’re transforming our full blown vegetable garden into a low-maintenance sweet potato patch. Sweet.
We use sweet potatoes in many recipes quite a bit, like delicious Sweet Potato Pancakes or Quick Baked Potatoes. It was Randy’s decision to plant mainly sweet potatoes. I think he’s a wise man. I’m definitely looking forward to strolling out to the garden for a few groceries, especially when I can shop for ingredients for things like these Sweet Potato Biscuits.
These Sweet Potato Biscuits have the same flaky goodness as the traditional buttermilk biscuits but with the added flavor and texture that sweet potatoes can give to many baked goods. I began with my Flaky Buttermilk Biscuit recipe as a base and adapted it to create another version of a Southern staple. I think they’d be great with molasses, honey or cinnamon butter or even the bookends of a BLT. I don’t know about you, but a BLT sounds mighty fine to me.
Share a basket of these at your next meal and see how quickly they disappear. Enjoy!
A few Sweet Potato Biscuits recipe notes:
- When baking biscuits, a hot greased cast iron skillet works best for creating a crunchy bottom crust and helping them to rise a bit higher.
- Bake the sweet potatoes ahead of time and store refrigerated until ready to use. This Quick Baked Potatoes recipe works like a charm. Just bake a few extra to save for the biscuits the next time you’re making a batch for dinner.

These sounds fantastic. I made a sweet potato soup last night with fresh cilantro. Love them – any time of year!
These look lip-licking-good Amy!
In the instructions you say to add sour cream. However, it’s not listed in your ingredients. How much do you add?
Oh my goodness! No sour cream. Sorry. I copied instructions from my other biscuit recipes and forgot to delete that. I will make the edit now. Thank you so much for pointing that out!
