Method
Biscuits

Prepare the Dough
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add Milk
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Shape the Biscuits
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Cut out biscuits using a round cutter or a glass and place them on a baking sheet.

Make the Roux
Once the sausage is fully cooked, sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir to combine, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the flour is slightly golden.

Add Milk
Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.

Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and grate the russet potatoes. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch and then squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel.

Cook the Hash Browns
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the grated potatoes in a thin layer and season with salt. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, then flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
