Potato Scallion Biscuits

Recipe Instructions Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a cookie sheet. Scrub the potatoes clean and place on the prepared cookie sheet. Bake in the skins about 45 minutes until very soft. Peel and mash with the butter while still warm. Turn the oven up to 400 degrees. Sift together the dry ingredients and mix into the potatoes. Add the buttermilk and scallions and combine. Don't overmix. The dough will be quite sticky. Pat the dough down to 1/2 inch on a floured board and cut out with a floured biscuit cutter. Place 1 inch apart on the cookie sheet. Alternately, you may drop dough by the tablespoonful onto the cookie sheet. Bake for 20 minutes until well browned. Serve warm with marmalade and country ham. This recipe yields about 18 biscuits.
