My son made us these and I was impressed that they need less fat than regular biscuits. They are soft and slightly sweet. He added a bit of garlic but plain might be more versatile (if you want the leftovers for breakfast).
1-1/4 cup flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1/8 cup butter
3/4 cup mashed potato
1 egg
1/3 cup cold water (other people might use milk here, but he didn't and they were fine)
Mix, knead, drop (I usually "cut in" butter when making biscuits, but I don't think he did. I think the recipe is very forgiving). (The original recipe also said you could roll out and cut the biscuits instead of drop, if desired)
450 degree oven, 15 minutes

I was just reading over this post I did a few weeks ago (of my son's recipe) and a tablespoon of baking powder sounds like a lot.
When I make quick breads like biscuits I often use 3/4 of a teaspoon of baking SODA, and add a tablespoon or two of lemon juice. I personally do worry about baking powder and could it have a bad amount of aluminum? Sometimes I will also a a bit of baking powder (just because it works much better than baking soda and lemon juice.) ...but no where near a tablespoon...
I will probably make a batch of these soon and I will come back with my results.
