Ingredients
Potato Biscotti
- 2 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1/3 cup Dehydrated Potato Flakes
- 1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Ground Cardamom
- 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/3 cup Light Brown Sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- Zest of 1 Orange optional
- 3/4 cup Dried Cranberries, chopped if large
- 1/2 cup Sliced Pistachios
- White Chocolate Chips optional for drizzle
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, potato flakes, baking powder, salt, cardamom, and cinnamon.
- In a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, cream the butter with both sugars until light. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla and orange zest.
- Stir in dry mix until just incorporated. Fold in cranberries and nuts. Dough will be thick but workable.
- Divide dough in half. Shape each into a log about 12 x 2 inches (30 x 5 cm). Place on a baking sheet, flatten tops slightly.
- First bake: Bake 25–28 minutes, until golden and set. Cool on sheet for 10 minutes.
- Slice: Transfer to cutting board, slice logs diagonally into 1/2-inch (1.2 cm) pieces. Be careful during this step, as the pieces will be delicate.
- Second bake: Place slices cut side down on sheet. Bake 8–10 minutes per side until crisp.
- Cool completely: They’ll firm up further as they cool. Store airtight up to 2 weeks.
- Option to drizzle with white chocolate for a touch of additional sweetness!
