    Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • 2
    In a large bowl, mix the potatoes and milk.

    In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Cut in butter with 2 forks or a pastry blender. Will look like coarse cornmeal.

    Add the flour mixture to the potato mixture and combine to make a soft dough.
  • 5
    Turn the dough out onto a floured board and knead lightly until the outside of the dough looks smooth.
  • 6
    Roll the dough out to one-half inch thickness and cut with biscuit cutter.
  • 7
    Place the biscuits on a greased pan and bake for about 15 minutes.
  • 8
    Watch your oven: If the biscuits are browning too fast, lower the temperature to 400 degrees.
  • 9
