Potato Scones

Potato Scones
A traditional Scottish dish, these are quite different from what you may usually think of as scones. As with Italian gnocchi, they're made from potatoes and flour.

1 lb potatoes, floury ones such as King Edwards or Maris Pipers, are best
1 teaspoon salt
2 oz butter
4 oz plain flour
Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water until tender. Drain and mash. Add the salt and butter and enough flour to make a stiff mixture. Turn out onto a floured board and shape into a round about �¼" thick and cut into triangles.

Cook on a pre-heated greased griddle or heavy-based pan for 4-5 minutes each side until lightly browned.

Serve spread with butter or as part of a 'big breakfast'.

That sounds tasty, I'll try your recipe out too, Dalbuie. Thanks!

 

I used to love tattie scones when I used to go stay with my grand-parents as a child Dalbuie. I'd forgotten them but I really must make some for Mrs S. to try with the Sunday breakfast. Thank you.

 

We called them potato cakes amd my mum was the best potato cake maker in the world, served dripping with butter. Who could resist :D
