Keto Loaded Potato Biscuits

These nut free, coconut flour biscuits taste like a loaded baked potato, with the addition of sour cream, bacon, cheese and herbs…without a potato in sight! They can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator or freezer. They are a delicious breakfast biscuit topped with poached eggs and hollandaise sauce or as an accompaniment to any meal.

Keto Loaded ‘Potato’ Biscuits

Makes 10 biscuits

1/2 cup mayonnaise 

1/4 cup sour cream

6 large eggs

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

5 slices cooked bacon, finely chopped

3 tablespoons chives or green onions, finely chopped

1/2 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped (half that amount if using dried)

1 cup coconut flour

1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 cup shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

2. Place the mayonnaise, sour cream, eggs, salt, pepper, bacon, chives and parsley in a medium mixing bowl and whisk to combine.

3. Place the coconut flour and baking powder in a small bowl and whisk with a fork until combined, breaking up any lumps. Add the dry ingredients and shredded cheese to the mayonnaise mixture and stir quickly with a fork to fully incorporate the ingredients. Allow the batter to sit for a few minutes until the coconut flour absorbs most of the liquid and the mixture thickens into a soft dough. 

4. Turn out the dough onto the counter and form into a large ball. Pat down gently on the dough ball until it is 1-inch in thickness. Use a small biscuit cutter to make biscuits, reforming scraps into a ball and patting down again as needed until you have created ten 1-inch high biscuits. (Alternatively, you can divide the dough into 10 pieces, roll each piece into a ball, place them on the prepared baking sheet and gently pat down with your fingers until the biscuits are 1-inch thick.)

5. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the bottom of the biscuits have browned and the tops take on a bit of golden color. Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to remain on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Serve warm.

6. The biscuits can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or, once cooled completely, wrapped well with plastic wrap and stored in the freezer for up to a month. To reheat: If frozen, thaw biscuits at room temperature for 1 hour. Place on a baking sheet and warm in a preheated 300 degree F oven until heated through, about 8-10 minutes.
