In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups flour, yeast, sugar and salt; mix well. Heat milk and shortening until very warm (120�F.; shortening does not need to melt). Add to flour mixture. Add potatoes and eggs. Blend at low speed until moistened, then beat 3 minutes at medium speed. Gradually stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft and slightly sticky dough. Knead 8 minutes by hand or with dough hook.
Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to coateaspoon Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll or pat to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut dough with a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter and place on baking sheet lightly coated with cooking spray. Cover, let rise in a warm (80�F) place until double.
Bake in preheated 400 degree oven 11 to 13 minutes or until golden. Remove from pans and cool on wire rack or serve immediately. Makes 20 biscuits.
Instant potatoes can be substituted in this recipe.
