Southern Sweet Potato Biscuits Recipe. My sister and I would hop off of the school bus at the end of the driveway to see Grandmother standing at the top of the drive waving to us. We didn’t have huge backpacks like the kids now have, so we’d shift our books around as we raced each other up the driveway to see which one would be the first to get our afternoon hugs.
