Description

These tattie scones are similar to potato pancakes and are a traditional Scottish and Irish breakfast dish made with leftover mashed potatoes cooked on a hot griddle until golden brown.

Ingredients

1 pound cooked potatoes
4 ounces self-rising flour
2 ounces butter
1/2 pinch salt

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients. Heat a lightly greased griddle or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
2 Mash potatoes with flour, butter, and salt in a large bowl until a stiff dough forms.
3 Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead dough lightly and roll dough out to a 1/2-inch-thick circle. Cut into 6 equal wedges.
4 Working in batches, cook scones on the hot griddle until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
