Biscuits are the side dish everyone should have on their Thanksgiving table. Need a way to make them even better? Is it even possible?
It is possible, and all you need are some sweet potatoes.
Chef John from Food Wishes created this awesome recipe, and I couldn’t love them even more. Here’s how you make them.
Ingredients for the biscuits:
- 1 1/2 cup mashed orange sweet potatoes (cooked in well-salted water, drained thoroughly)
- 3 1/4 cups self-rising flour
- 1 rounded tablespoon brown sugar
- 12 tablespoons ice cold butter, grated in

If you’d like to make the pomegranate spread he makes:
- 4 tablespoons room temp butter
- 1 teaspoon pomegranate syrup, aka pomegranate molasses (you can make your own by reducing juice until it thickens)
- 1 teaspoon fresh pomegranate juice, for a better color

Making the biscuits are super simple. Peel and cook your sweet potatoes in highly salted water. Drain and mash them, then let it cool to room temp before using it in your biscuits.
Combine the other ingredients with the potatoes, leaving out the flour and the butter. In a separate bowl, grate frozen butter into your flour. Mix it together until the butter is coated with the flour.
Then make a well in the center for your chilled sweet potato mixture. Then, you’ll use a very specific technique Chef John outlines in the video below.

Enjoy!
