I first had these little biscuits at a quaint mountain restaurant. This is my own version. I use baked sweet potato, which I think is super yummy and keeps them tender and light. You will fall in love with them ! Great with a little slice of country ham or a slather of compound butter made with cinnamon and brown sugar. Sure to be a hit during the holiday season. Be forewarned though. These little biscuits are highly addictive !

The sweet potato made this a wonderful twist on a biscuit. For my next party, I am going to make these into smaller biscuits and serve with pork tenderloin for a yummy appetizer!
