Tattie Scones

500g of mashed potatoes

100g of plain flour

50g of butter

Pinch of salt

A girdle or griddle pan is the best way to make potato scones though a frying pan can also be used. The trick is not to let the potato scones mixture get dry. Boil the tatties and then mash them thoroughly. Add butter and salt if needed. A healthier potato scone recipe should omit the salt.

In a mixing bowl mix in the plain flour with the mashed tatties ensuring the potato scones mixture does not go dry. Empty onto a flat surface and use a rolling pin to roll out the mixture evenly and to a desired height of about 3mm. For this recipe for potato scones cut into the traditional shape of potato scones of triangles, though some bakers now sell round tattie scones. Put each triangular potato scone into the griddle or frying pan and cook on both sides until brown. Serve whilst hot for tasty potato scones.
