  1. This is a great "bread" with so many possible variations! The potatoes make it so dense and filling that it's more of a side dish than simply a bread. I served it with beef that had a spicy gravy and it was a perfect accompaniment. I think it would also be great with a layer of cheddar between the potato part and the biscuit patty and served for breakfast with scrambled eggs. All in all a great recipe that I will use again!
