Why I Love This Recipe
Buttermilk biscuits with a touch of sassiness! Potatoes, cheese, pepper and BACON?? You bet!! Just try to avoid burning yourself while savouring this warm from the oven!
Ingredients You'll Need
1/2 cup smooth, cold mashed potatoes (lefover's fine)

3/4 cup buttermilk
Directions
Preheat oven to 425F.
Combine potatoes, dry ingredients and cheese in a large bowl.
Cut in shortening until a coarse-meal texture forms.
Pour in buttermilk and mix just until blended. Do not overwork the dough!
Pat out on a floured board, cut with a cookie cutter or rim of a glass and place on ungreased sheets.
Bake 12 minutes, rotating pans halfway through baking time.
Remove immediately to wire rack.
