2 cups cooked, mashed sweet potato
2 cups all-purpose flour
4 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
Colby Jack or Pepper Jack Cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes

Bake sweet potato until soft. Cool, remove skin and mash with a fork. Measure 2 cups.

Mix flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter and sweet potato. If mixture is dry add a tablespoon or 2 of milk, enough to hold dough together. Knead on floured surface cover with plastic wrap and let it rest 5 minutes.

Divide dough into 24 even pieces. Wrap each piece of dough around a cheese cube, roll in palms to form a ball. Place on cookie sheet with edges, lined with no stick foil.

Bake at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes. Biscuits should be slightly brown and cheese will start coming out.

Makes 24 biscuits.
