Sour Cream Biscuits

Sour Cream Biscuits

Enjoy the comfort of fluffy sour cream biscuits with potato mixed in – a twist on my go-to made-from-scratch biscuits. These buttery biscuits are perfect for those who love a flavorful option without the need for yeast or rolling out dough. The richness of sour cream and the heartiness of potatoes in my homemade biscuit creation is one of my absolute favorite recipes.
