Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and sugar. Mix well.
Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Similarly, cut in cold mashed potatoes until incorporated.
Fold in shredded cheese and create a well in the center.
Add a beaten egg and buttermilk to the well.
Gently combine the wet ingredients and the dry ingredients.
On a floured board, gently pat out the dough.
Using a biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and arrange on a baking sheet.
Brush tops of biscuits with buttermilk and sprinkle with additional shredded cheese, if desired.
