- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 1/2 cup of cold butter - cubed (plus 2 tbs. melted for brushing the biscuits with before baking)
- 1/2 cup buttermilk

- 1 package of Idaho Spuds Three Cheese - plus 2 cups milk (using only 1 1/2 cups of the mashed potatoes for the recipe)
- 1/2 cup of chives
Instructions
- Preheat Oven 425 degrees F.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Combine the flour, sugar, salt, pepper, baking powder and baking soda.
- Place the cubed butter into the dry ingredients and work it with your clean fingers until the dry ingredients are crumb-like.
- Whisk together the egg and the buttermilk.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the buttermilk and egg mixture.
- Using a fork stir the buttermilk mixture with the dry ingredients.
- Empty the Idaho Spuds Three Cheese package into a medium sized bowl and add the milk one cup at a time to the bowl stirring all the while.
- Add 1 ½ cups of the mashed potato mixture and the chopped chives to the flour mixture and once again stir with a fork until it is incorporated and a dough begins to form.
- Place the dough on a clean lightly floured surface. Knead the dough about 10 – 12 times until it is smooth, soft, and workable and holds together.
- Roll out the dough to approximately ½ inch thickness and use a biscuit cutter or glass dipped in flour to cut out the biscuit circles. Repeat this process until all of the dough is used.
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with the melted butter.
- Bake for 12 – 15 minutes or until a beautiful golden color is achieved.
