For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or dried herbs (such as rosemary or thyme) to the dry ingredients. Don't overmix the dough! Overmixing will result in tough biscuits. Handle the dough gently. For best results, use cold butter and slightly warmed mashed potatoes. The cold butter helps create flaky layers, while the slightly warmed potatoes incorporate more easily into the dough. If you don't have a biscuit cutter, you can use a sharp knife to cut the dough into squares or triangles. These biscuits are best served warm. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or frozen for longer storage. Reheat in a warm oven for best results.
