How to Make High Rise Mashed Potato Biscuits Breadsticks

  1. **Biscuits:** Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon dried herb blend (Italian seasoning, Herbes de Provence, etc.).
  3. If using leftover mashed potatoes, gently warm them in the microwave until room temperature. (Mashed potatoes with cream cheese, margarine, or herbs are perfectly fine!)
  4. Alternatively, prepare 1-2 cups of instant mashed potatoes according to package directions.
  5. Add the mashed potatoes to the dry ingredients and mix with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1/4 cup milk.
  7. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix with a spoon until a soft dough forms. The dough should pull away from the sides of the bowl.
  8. Lightly flour a clean surface. Turn the dough out onto the surface and gently pat it down to a 3/4-inch to 1-inch thickness. Do not use a rolling pin.
  9. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  10. Use a 2-3 inch biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits. You should get approximately 9-10 large biscuits.
  11. Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet.
  12. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until light to medium brown.
  13. **Breadsticks:** Pat out a portion of the remaining dough to about 1-inch thickness. Cut into 1/2 inch wide strips.
  14. Lightly roll each strip back and forth to round them.
  15. Place breadsticks on a baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
  16. Optionally, brush the breadsticks with melted margarine or garlic butter during the last few minutes of baking.
  17. Bake breadsticks for 7-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Watch closely, as cooking time depends on breadstick size.
  18. Serve biscuits and breadsticks warm with honey, margarine, or white gravy. Garlic butter is a fantastic dipping sauce for the breadsticks!
