Ham, Potato, and Cheese Buscuits

Prep Time1 hour 30 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Servings: 24 biscuits

Ingredients

For the Cowboy Biscuits

  • 2 c warm milk
  • 1 Tbs yeast
  • 3 Tbs sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup cooking oil
  • 4 cups flour

For the Filling

  • 2 russet potatoes peeled
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 Tbs. oil
  • cheddar cheese grated
  • 3/4 lb ham shaved

Instructions

  • Combine all the biscuit ingredients in a large bowl. Stir until just wet.
  • Cover, then let rise for an hour or until doubled in size.
  • While bread is rising, boil potatoes until just tender (a knife should be able to go through them, but potatoes should not be soggy at all)
  • Let potatoes dry and cool, then dice.
  • Add oil to a non stick pan and heat up to medium. Add potatoes and salt and pepper.
  • Fry potatoes until crispy and golden brown (the key is to leave them in the pan on one side for a couple minutes, then flip). Set aside.
  • Once biscuits have finished rising, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Flour surface (you can be pretty liberal), hands and rolling pin. Roll dough out to about 1/2" thickness.
  • Cut out dough with a round cookie cutter (about 3-4 inches).
  • Grease a cookie sheet with oil. Place a tabelspoon or more of ham, cheese an potatoes onto dough.
  • Fold dough over the filling to form a ball.
  • Once you are finished forming all the biscuits, place in the oven. Cook for about 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
