Ingredients:

• 1 medium potato
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 2 teaspoons dried dill weed
• 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup vegetable shortening
• 1/4 cup butter

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potato Mixture:

   • Begin by peeling and cubing the potato. Place the potato cubes and water into a small saucepan. Cook, covered, over medium heat for approximately 10 minutes or until the potato is tender.
   • Do not drain the water; mash the potato and cooking water together until you achieve a very smooth consistency.
   • Spoon the mashed potato mixture into a glass measuring cup. Add additional water as needed to measure exactly one cup of the potato mixture.

2. Make the Biscuit Dough:

   • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, dried dill weed, cream of tartar, and salt until evenly combined.
   • Cut in the vegetable shortening and butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3. Combine Ingredients:

   • Stir in the prepared potato mixture until the batter becomes slightly sticky.

4. Shape the Biscuits:

   • Gently knead the dough on a lightly floured surface about 10 times to bring it together.
   • Pat the dough into an 8-inch square shape. Using a knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 12 equal squares.

5. Bake:

   • Arrange the biscuit squares on an ungreased baking sheet.
   • Bake in a preheated oven at 450°F (230°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the biscuits are slightly browned on top.

6. Freezing Instructions:

   • For future convenience, you can freeze these biscuits. Cut out the biscuit squares as directed and place them on a baking sheet.
   • Brush the tops with a little milk and freeze until firm. Once frozen, transfer the biscuits to a plastic bag and store in the freezer.
   • When ready to enjoy, bake the frozen biscuits directly from the freezer as directed without thawing.
