Instructions
Mashed Potatoes
- Cut potatoes into ½ inch to 1 inch slices. Add them to a large pot.
- Add cold water over the potatoes until they are all submerged into the water. Bring to a boil.
- Cook for 25-30 minutes. Until they're fork tender.
- Drain the potatoes from the water. Add them to the bowl of a stand mixer, or alternatively, add them to a large bowl. You can use a hand mixer, potato ricer, or mash them by hand if you don't have a stand mixer.
- Add the butter to the potatoes and let it melt.
- While it is melting, combine the sour cream and half and half.
- Add half of the sour cream/half and half mixture, salt, and pepper to the potatoes.
- Whip potatoes and add more of the sour cream/half and half mixture until they're your desired consistency.
Honey Butter
- Combine all honey butter ingredients.
Muffin Assembly
- Preheat your oven to what the directions on your can of biscuits instruct.
- Grease a muffin tin.
- The individual biscuits should be layers of dough. Using your hands you should be able to pull apart those layers, creating 3 pieces of dough. Layer your slices of cheese in between those layers. Add the reconstructed biscuit to the muffin tin. Cook according to the can's directions.
- Cook your popcorn chicken.
- Add your honey butter to the top of the cooked biscuits.
- Add a scoop of the mashed potatoes to the top of the biscuits.
- Stick a couple of pieces of popcorn chicken to the mashed potatoes.
- Top with gravy.
- Sprinkle with rosemary.
Notes
- When adding salt and pepper to the mashed potatoes, feel free to add any other herbs you’d like!
- This mashed potato recipe also stands good on its own, so feel free to use that if you’re looking to make mashed potatoes 😁
- If you don’t like rosemary, topping these with chives is also a great option.
- For the popcorn chicken – I just use frozen. You can make your own at home or, sometimes, you can even get it fresh from your grocery store’s deli.
- If you want to take another shortcut – premade or packaged mashed potatoes is fine 😋 This will save time.
